MeSH definition : Agents that mimic neural transmission by stimulation of the nicotinic receptors on
postganglionic autonomic neurons. Drugs that indirectly augment ganglionic transmission
by increasing the release or slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine or by non-nicotinic
effects on postganglionic neurons are not included here nor are the nonspecific cholinergic
agonists.;
MeSH synonym : stimulants, ganglionic;
MeSH annotation : GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics; consider also GANGLIA /drug eff;
