Implication

Hypothesis-generating for cardiorespiratory reflex mechanisms; leaves open translation to human physiology and practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Anaesthetized cats (292 neurones recorded in the nucleus tractus solitarius)
I
Intervention
Electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus, aortic and vagal nerves, alone or in combination
O
Outcome
Post-synaptic responses (excitatory or inhibitory, latency, temporal summation, convergent inputs)surrogate

Demonstrates that neurones in the nucleus tractus solitarius receive convergent inputs from multiple cardiorespiratory afferent nerves, informing the neural basis of cardiorespiratory reflexes.
