By contrast with control mice, immunosympathectomized mice, whose sympathetic paravertebral ganglion cells have been reduced to about 15% of the normal number, show a decrease in heart rate during a 30-min. adaptation period in a strange environment as well as a decrease within 3 min. after brief electric shock.
