Cardio-respiratory synchronisms: synchrony with artificial circulation.
Rabbits with an artificial cerebral circulation can synchronize their respiratory rhythm with the pump stroke. There is evidence that the responsible kypernetic system is of a very elementary nature. The efficacy of the system is considerable and the experimental set-up as a whole offers itself as a model to search for drugs to increase the synchronizing potentialities.
