Electrogram from dorsal ganglion of Limulus heart. A, Beats recorded from fifth and from sixth segments of isolated ganglion, showing slow potentials with super- posed axon spikes. B, Discharge in single neurone of pacemaker ganglion during one beat. From Prosser.^'* discharges several (2-15) times during a burst lasting approximately a half second (Fig. 206). Each neurone usually discharges initially at a high rate and later at decreasing frequency. In preparations which are no longer fresh, or after treatment with abnormal concentrations of potassium or calcium, asynchrony appears and the individual ganglion cells discharge at random. Records from the midsegments where the large unipolar pacemaker cells are located show slow waves lasting more than second, with axon spikes.
