Hypothalamic modulation of laryngeal reflexes in the anaesthetized cat: role of the nucleus tractus solitarii.

Dawid-Milner, M S, Silva-Carvalho, L, Goldsmith, G E, Spyer, K M

1. This investigation was initiated because activation of laryngeal afferents, either by electrical stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) or by natural stimulation of receptors in the...

Hypothalamic modulation of the arterial chemoreceptor reflex in the anaesthetized cat: role of the nucleus tractus solitarii.

Silva-Carvalho, L, Dawid-Milner, M S, Goldsmith, G E, Spyer, K M

1. There is evidence in the literature of a mutual facilitatory interaction between the arterial chemoreceptor reflex and the alerting stage of the defence reaction, particularly in relation to the...

Inhibition of barosensitive neurones evoked by lobule IXb of the posterior cerebellar cortex in the decerebrate rabbit.

Paton, J F, Silva-Carvalho, L, Goldsmith, G E, Spyer, K M

1. Electrical stimulation of lobule IXb of the posterior cerebellar vermis evoked an increase in heart rate and arterial pressure in the decerebrate rabbit. This pattern of response was followed by a...

Facial sensitivity to rates of temperature change: neurophysiological and psychophysical evidence from cats and humans.

Davies, S N, Goldsmith, G E, Hellon, R F, Mitchell, D

The dynamic responses in a thermal afferent pathway to rates of temperature change have been studied in anaesthetized cats. Recordings were made in the caudal trigeminal nucleus from neurones with a...
