| Abstract | 1. The present study investigated the possibility that pre- and postganglionic neurones innervating the kidney and spleen in rats are affected by descending inhibitory as well as descending excitatory influences. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the effects of cervical spinal cord transection to the effects of blockade of tonic activity of excitatory neurones in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). 2. Electrical discharge of multifibre postganglionic renal and splenic and preganglionic greater splanchnic nerves and 13th thoracic (T13) white rami was recorded in artificially respired, urethane-anaesthetized rats. In one group of rats, descending supraspinal pathways were interrupted by cervical spinal cord transection. In another group, tonic activity of rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) neurones was blocked by bilateral microinjections of the inhibitory amino acid glycine. The effects of spinal cord transection were compared to effects of this bilateral RVLM blockade and to effects of unilateral RVLM blockade described in a previous study. 3. Spinal cord transection caused decreases in preganglionic greater splanchnic and postganglionic splenic nerves which were of the same magnitude as those caused by bilateral blockade of the RVLM. 4. In contrast, discharge of renal nerves was decreased more by bilateral RVLM blockade than by cervical spinal cord transection. Similarly, even unilateral RVLM blockade caused greater decreases in discharge of T13 white rami than were caused by spinal cord transection. 5. These findings suggest that renal nerves and their preganglionic inputs (T13 white rami) are controlled in part by tonic sympathoinhibitory influences which can be unmasked by blockade of the RVLM. These sympathoinhibitory influences do not appear to affect the activity of splanchnic and splenic nerves. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
