Nicotinic agonists modulate firing of mechano-sensitive bladder afferent nerves (BAN).
Agonists applied to the bladder lumen enhance mechano-sensitive BAN firing.
Agonists applied to the bladder serosal surface suppress mechano-sensitive BAN firing.
Agonists applied to the bladder serosal surface also elicit BAN firing.
Mecamylamine, a nicotinic antagonist blocks the effects of agonists.
