No immediate clinical implications for ventilatory control; leaves open independence of afterdischarge networks in conscious humans.
The neural network responsible for respiratory afterdischarge is separate from inspiratory output neurons and phase switching mechanisms, as it is unaffected by vagal inhibition.
Eldridge et al. (1978) studied this question. Vagal stimulation or lung inflation was evaluated on Development of afterdischarge or subsequent recovery process. Vagal stimulation or lung inflation had no effect on the development of central neural respiratory afterdischarge or the subsequent recovery process in anesthetized cats.
