title: Effects of stimulus parameters on cardiovascular responses to medullary stimulation in the cat.
abstract: The results of this study indicated that when stimulus intensity, pulse frequency and train duration were varied the basic topography of the cardiovascular responses to medullary stimulation did not change, but was merely increased or diminished in magnitude. Pressor responses were usually obtained in conscious cats, and also narcosis produced reversal effect on rare occasions. It is suggested that the reversal in cardiovascular responses is probably locus specific, and the medullary loci yielding reversal effect are more limited than those eliciting consequently pressor responses.
