| Abstract | To examine the effects of suprapontine structures on the activity of hypoglossal and phrenic nerves, 13 chloralose anesthetized, paralyzed (gallamine triethiodide) and artificially ventilated cats were studied. In all animals vagi and carotid sinus nerves were cut bilaterally. All animals were first hyperventilated to apnea and then made progressively hypercapnic by rebreathing under hyperoxic conditions. Following midcollicular decerebration, the peak phasic activity of the hypoglossal nerve was significantly depressed and the PCO2 at which apnea occurred (apneic point) increased. However, following high decerebration or decortication the activity of the hypoglossal nerve was increased at higher CO2 levels and there was no change in apneic point. By contrast, peak phrenic nerve activity was not altered by any of the above surgical procedures. Neither systemic blood pressure nor respiratory frequency were significantly altered by these procedures. The results indicate that suprapontine structures can appreciably modify hypoglossal activity. |
