Sm. Barman et al., A 10-HZ RHYTHM REFLECTS THE ORGANIZATION OF A BRAIN-STEM NETWORK THATSPECIFICALLY GOVERNS SYMPATHETIC-NERVE DISCHARGE, Brain research, 671(2), 1995, pp. 345-350
Coherence analysis revealed that the 10-Hz rhythm in sympathetic nerve
discharge (SND) was not correlated to that either in inferior olivary
activity of decerebrate cats or in neocortical spindles of urethane-a
nesthetized cats. Also the discharges of some ventrolateral medullary
and raphe neurons contained a 10-Hz rhythm that was not correlated to
that in SND. These data support the hypothesis that a 10-Hz rhythm ref
lects the organization of a brainstem network that specifically govern
s sympathetic outflow.
