showed no significant impact to the rhythm of the heart. Also, the researchers observed that even after death, any manipulation of the accelerans nerve, or any other neighbouring nerves, caused a reflex movement from the dogs, underlying the significance of its function in the heart. Furthermore, one study conducted in
January 1988 found that even through chronic administration of

In the case of dogs, the first case ever mentioned regarding the accelerans nerve and its function in 1883 yielded that the investigation in dogs was done almost exclusively on the right side of the nerves. The reason for this was that researches saw that any sort of stimulation on the left side

In the case of cats, stimulation of the accelerans nerve was found to produce a much more significant effect on their heart rates compared to the hormones secreted by the adrenals glands in the autonomic-nervous system for the fight-or-flight response. Moreover, the vigorous heart palpitations

The majority of research regarding the accelerans nerve has been centered around other mammals part from humans. The first study ever conducted on accelerans nerve on April 23, 1883 necessitated other mammals apart from humans, not only due to ethical concerns, but in order to visualize the

hearts. In their findings, both researches saw that there was an increase in cardiovascular acceleration due to stimulation of the accelerans nerve found in the ventricles of the mammals they studied. In Aug 1950, medical researcher O. Krayer confirmed that through
