Perineural capsaicin selectively abolishes capsaicin-sensitive vagal reflexes in cats; hypothesis-generating for chemo-specific afferent subpopulations.
Does perineural application of capsaicin to the vagus nerve alter cardiovascular and respiratory functions in cats?
Perineural capsaicin application to the vagus nerve selectively abolishes specific chemo-reflexes, suggesting vagal afferent fibers mediating these reflexes are separated into chemo-specifically different populations.
Jancsó et al. (1983) studied this question.
