Summary. In anesthetized, pontine-deeerebrated rabbits it was shown that the tendency of inspirations as well as exspirations to preferably begin within certain sections of the time course of a cardiac cycle, did still persist after bilateral vagotomy. This linking between cardiac and respiratory rhythm is compared with other linkings which have already been pointed out for rabbits. Reflections on eardiorespiratory synchronism in men are made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
