Abstract
After section of the phrenic nerve the respiratory discharges recorded central to the cut undergo a temporary deficiency with a time course parallel to that described for retrograde degeneration in other neurons. Yet the phrenic cell bodies may show little or no anatomical change even when this deficiency is extreme. The deficiency is not due to failure of conduction in the phrenic axons.
