Influence of cervical sympathetic nerve stimulation on carotid sinus baroreceptor afferents.
In rabbits and dogs, the response of low-threshold carotid sinus baroreceptor afferent fibres to cervical sympathetic nerve stimulation at various non-pulsatile steady pressures was examined. Fibres which possessed a rhythmic bursting discharge at low pressures increased this activity during sympathetic stimulation; all other low-threshold afferents were unaffected.
