The effects of hyoscine and anticholinesterases on cholinergic transmission to the smooth muscle cells of the avian gizzard [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1969 . Intracellular recordings were made from smooth muscle cells of the pigeon and chick gizzards. Hyoscine (10−6 g/ml.) blocked, within 2 min, the excitatory junction potentials (E.J.P.s) evoked by transmural stimulation. As the amplitudes of E.J.P.s decreased, their durations also decreased. Hyoscine had no effect on the inhibitory junction potentials (
