The effects of vagal stimulation on the form of the monophasic action potential of auricular muscle are listed along with the technics for demonstrating them. Evidence is presented for the viewpoint that auricular muscle, following vagal stimulation, acts like a single cell capable of giving graded electrical, as well as mechanical, responses.
