[Correction of respiratory disorders by electric stimulation of various structures of the respiratory center].

Impulse activity of respiratory neurones and respiration during electric stimulation of the inspiratory and expiratory sites of the respiratory center was studied in cats anesthetized with nembutal. The study was made with an object of imposing a new rhythm on these sites and of recovering respiratory function. It has been established that stimulation of the inspiratory and expiratory sites of the giganto-cellular nucleus and of some structures of the solitary tract nucleus enables one to impose the new rhythm on the respiratory neurones of the ventral and respiratory nuclei and on respiration as well as to renew the respiration arrested.
