Abstract:
Power spectral analysis of phrenic nerve discharge in neonatal swine revealed the presence of both high-frequency oscillations (HFO) (95-150 Hz) and medium-frequency oscillations (MFO) (15-35 Hz). The HFO was shown to be age-related; the MFO was not. The data indicated that at least one manifestation of maturation of the respiratory rhythm generator is the increase with age of the frequency of the HFO.
