title: [Study of tonic and evoked electrical activity in efferent fibers of the sympathetic nerve in white rats].
abstract: In anaesthetised Wistar rats, electrical sympathetic activity and a somatosympathetic reflex in the cervical sympathetic trunk elicited by a single electrical shock to forelimb or hindlimb afferent nerves, were recorded. The spontaneous activity was shown to conform with the pulse and respiratory waves of arterial pressure. Somatosympathetic reflex consists of early and late discharges evoked by somatic myelinated afferent fibres stimulation, and C-response elicited by stimulation of unmyelinated afferent fibres in spinal nerves.
