Abstract:
Acute experiments on rats showed that the anterior cingulate gyrus contains 2 efferent regions of the functional respiratory system (inhibitory supragenual and excitatory infragenual areas). Stimulation of these cortical areas produced a respiratory effect, which depended on activity of serotoninergic mechanisms in the solitary tract nucleus.
