In anaesthetized cats antidromic responses were recorded in nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis following stimulation of the ventrolateral funiculus in the ipsilateral thoracolumbar cord. Conduction velocities ranged from 5.4-120 m/s but 50% of the fibres conducted at less than 20 m/s. About half of the neurones were facilitated by stimulation in the hypothalamic or midbrain defence areas. These neurones are superficially located at the site where application of glycine or a lesion blocks the effects of defence area stimulation and reduces blood pressure. They could therefore be involved in the regulation of vasomotor activity.
在麻醉猫中，刺激同侧胸腰段脊髓的腹外侧索后，在外侧巨细胞旁核记录到了逆向反应。传导速度范围为5.4 - 120米/秒，但50%的纤维传导速度低于20米/秒。约一半的神经元受到下丘脑或中脑防御区刺激的易化作用。这些神经元位于表面，在此处应用甘氨酸或损伤会阻断防御区刺激的效应并降低血压。因此，它们可能参与血管运动活动的调节。
