Abstract
It has been shown that there are in the cervical vagus of the cat certain afferent fibres which yield a discharge of impulses a few seconds after an intravenous injection of phenyldiguanide1 or 5-hydroxytryptamine. The normal functions of these afferents have now been investigated. Most of these afferents end in stretch receptors in the wall of the stomach; apparently this is the first description of such receptors.
