The excitatory actions of epinephrine were not observed
The excitatory actions of epinephrine were not observed in groups given an identical dose of the hormone after peripheral β-adrenergic receptor blockade with sotalol. These findings demonstrate that neural discharge in vagal afferent fibers is increased by elevations in peripheral concentrations of epinephrine and the significance of these findings in understanding how epinephrine modulates brain limbic structures to encode and store new information into memory is discussed.
