Supports afferent-driven sympathetic tone in feline bladder; leaves open translation to human physiology or practice.
Sympathetic efferent activity to the bladder was recorded from the hypogastric nerves of cats. When the pelvic (afferent) nerves were sectioned or a local anesthetic applied, sympathetic activity decreased. It is concluded from these data and from previous work that sympathetic inhibitory tone necessary for normal function is maintained by afferent activity from the bladder. Nerve section experiments are reinterpreted in the light of these data.
