Nitric oxide enhances inhibitory synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in guinea-pig submucous plexus

Varicosities immunoreactive for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) make synaptic connections with submucosal neurons in the guinea-pig small intestine, but the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on these neurons are unknown. We used intracellular recording to characterise effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, N...
