Hypoxia elicits site-specific autonomic responses in rabbit brainstem preparations; hypothesis-generating for human reflex mechanisms, no clinical implications yet.
Does severe arterial hypoxia alter cardiovascular autonomic effects in different rabbit brain preparations?
The study demonstrates that different levels of the brainstem and diencephalon play distinct roles in mediating cardiovascular autonomic responses to severe hypoxia in rabbits.
Uther et al. (1970) studied this question.
