Stimulation of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in rats elicits gastric acid, insulin, and glucagon secretion with distinct viscerotopic patterns, but does not affect heart rate or blood pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
DMV stimulation effects in rats should not change clinical vagal therapies; leaves open viscerotopic mapping for targeted neuromodulation research.
Laughton et al. (1987) studied this question.
