Implication

Characterizes C-fibre cardiac vagal motoneurones in cats; extends preclinical mapping but leaves open their functional role in heart-rate control.

Population

94 single motoneurones in the dorsal motor vagal nucleus of chloralose-anaesthetized or decerebrate cats

Intervention

Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve or its branches, carotid sinus distension, and iontophoretic excitation

Outcome

Electrophysiological properties, synaptic inputs, and effect on heart ratesurrogate

This preclinical study characterizes the electrophysiological properties of non-myelinated vagal motoneurones projecting to the heart and lungs in cats, noting that their excitation does not affect heart rate.
