    Summary
    When applied by iontophoresis onto single sympathetic preganglionic neurones in the intermediolateral nucleus of segments T1-T3 in the cat, oxytocin and vasopressin each had an excitatory effect.

    Summary
    When applied by iontophoresis onto single sympathetic preganglionic neurones in the intermediolateral nucleus of segments T1-T3 in the cat, oxytocin and vasopressin each had an excitatory effect. This effect consisted of a prolonged (30-300 sec) after-discharge following termination of application.
