Central respiratory modulation of subretrofacial bulbospinal neurones in the cat.

McAllen, R M

1. Spontaneous activity was recorded from spinally projecting neurones of the subretrofacial nucleus (s.r.f.) in seven chloralose-anaesthetized, vagotomized, paralysed cats. Nineteen such neurones...

Mediation of the fastigial pressor response and a somatosympathetic reflex by ventral medullary neurones in the cat.

McAllen, R M

In chloralose-anaesthetized, artificially ventilated cats, the effects have been studied of inactivating neurones of the 'glycine-sensitive area' of the rostral ventrolateral medulla on evoked renal...

Two types of vagal preganglionic motoneurones projecting to the heart and lungs

McAllen, R. M., Spyer, K. M.

1. A study has been made of eighty-four cells in the cat's nucleus ambiguus whose axons projected to the cardiac (seventy-four) and pulmonary (ten) branches of the right vagus. Their axonal...

The baroreceptor input to cardiac vagal motoneurones

McAllen, R. M., Spyer, K. M.

1. A study has been made of twenty-three cardiac vagal motoneurones (c.v.m.s) in the nucleus ambiguus of chloralose-anaesthetized cats.

The carotid chemoreceptor input to the respiratory neurones of the nucleus of tractus solitarius

Lipski, J., McAllen, R. M., Spyer, K. M.

1. An investigation has been made into the connexions between the carotid body chemoreceptors and the dorsal respiratory neurones of the cat's medulla.

The location of cardiac vagal preganglionic motoneurones in the medulla of the cat.

McAllen, R M, Spyer, K M

1. Electrophysiological techniques have been used to locate the origin of preganglionic vagal motoneurones supplying the heart of the cat. 2. The right cardiac vagal branches were identified...

Modification of the reflex response to stimulation of carotid sinus baroreceptors during and following stimulation of the hypothalamic defence area in the cat

Humphreys, P. W., Joels, N., McAllen, R. M.

1. The effects of stimulation of the hypothalamic defence area on carotid sinus baroreceptor reflexes have been investigated by examining the cardiovascular responses to a 15 sec period of increased...

The sinus nerve and baroreceptor input to the medulla of the cat.

Lipski, J, McAllen, R M, Spyer, K M

Electrical stimulation within the medulla of cats revealed that myelinated primary afferent fibres of the sinus nerve terminated within the immediate vicinity of the tractus solitarius and its...
