[The transformation of the receptor potential of mechanosensitive neurons in the crayfish with the intracellular injection of solutions under pressure].

Intracellular pressure injection of potassium salt solution has been studied for its effect on the receptor potential of the slowly adapting stretch receptor of crayfish. It was found that the injection caused an increase in the static phase of the receptor potential. The results suggest that the intracellular hydrostatic pressure may be involved in generation of primary receptor responses of mechanoreceptors.
