Abstract
The studies reported here have demonstrated that electrical stimulation in the subfornical organ of the urethane-anesthetized rat elicits augmented breaths in over 90% of animals tested. Similar stimulation in immediately adjacent anatomical regions such as the hippocampal commissure was without effect. Detailed analysis of respiratory timing revealed no other significant respiratory effects of such subfornical stimulation.Key words: subfornical organ, respiration.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
