[Electrophysiological study of the connections between the nuclei in the medial and lateral zones of the respiratory center].
Experiments on anesthetized cats were made to study evoked electrical responses of the neurons of the ventral and dorsal respiratory nuclei to single stimulations of the previously described inspiratory and expiratory sites of the giant cell nucleus. The majority of the respiratory neurons responded with evoked activity. Mono- and polysynaptic responses were obtained in both respiratory and reticular neurons, which indicates the existence of the relations of varying degree of complexity between the structures of the medial and lateral zones of the respiratory center, thereby making it possible to explain the mechanism of the recovery of respiratory movements during stimulation of the inspiratory sites of the giant cell nucleus.
