[Neuronal pulse activity of the nodose ganglion in acute hemodynamic and respiratory disorders].

Activity of nodosal ganglion neurons was recorded extracellularly in acute experiments on cats anesthetized with nembutal upon affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory system receptors. Two types of the cells were found: some of the cells changed their activity on stimulation of the receptors pertaining only to one system (cardiovascular or respiratory), and other ones that changed their activity pattern upon affecting both the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. This appears to provide rapid inclusion of the central nervous regulation into the mechanism of compensatory reactions that arise in acute hemodynamic and respiratory distress.
