Is There an Influence of Discharge Patterns of Neurones of the Common Brain Stem System on Neuronal Activity in the Dorsomedial Part of the NTS?

  • Conference paper
Central Interaction Between Respiratory and Cardiovascular Control Systems

Abstract

Neurones of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) are the relay station of baroreceptor afferents (1 – 4). The discharge patterns of a number of the neurones of the NTS are very similar to the activity patterns of the afferents of baroreceptors (5). All these neurones discharge with a distinct cardiac rhythm in fixed relation to the cardiac cycle.
