Supports central respiratory drive of sympathetic rhythms in this model; leaves open any human relevance or practice implications.
Does hyperventilation-induced apnea alter the respiratory rhythmicity of sympathetic nerve activity in anesthetized cats?
Central respiratory inputs on sympathetic pathways in the central nervous system best explain the origin of respiratory-related sympathetic rhythms.
Connelly et al. (1985) studied this question.
