Abstract:
The effects of aortic nerve stimulation on the activity of single cervical sympathetic preganglionic neurones have been studied. Based upon the relationship of their firing patterns to central respiratory drive the neurones were categorized as either expiratory-related, inspiratory-related or non-modulated. Aortic nerve stimulation depressed the activity of each type of neurone indicating that irrespective of their respiratory modulation they are amenable to baroreceptor control.
