Abstract
The central end of the cut cervical vagus nerve of the monkey (Macaca mulatta and Cercocebus fuliginosus) is stimulated with thyratron condenser discharges of various frequencies and intensities. Respiratory effects are recorded by pneumogram. Lower stimulus frequencies produce a weak inspiratory, higher rates a strong expiratory pattern; and higher intensities, non-specific acceleration. Earlier results obtained on rabbits, cats, and dogs are confirmed for the monkey.
