title: [Respiratory rhythm of rats under acute emotional stress].
abstract: Irregularity of the rhythm of breathing, the breathing rate, blood pressure and heart rate were studied in rats under acute emotional stress induced by non-periodic stimulation of the skin and ventromedial hypothalamus. The irregularity of the rhythm of breathing was substantially increased during stimulation of the hypothalamus up to short-term respiratory arrests in animals predisposed to emotional stress. Disturbances of the rhythm of breathing may be one of objective prognostic criteria of the animals' survival or lethality under emotional stress.
