Animal findings on delta-fiber mediation warrant clinical caution; leaves open translation to human cardiac reflexes.
This preclinical study demonstrates that the cardiac depressor reflex is specifically mediated by small delta-type vagal afferent fibers, and identifies auricular stretch receptors in both cats and frogs.
Neil et al. (1950) studied this question.
