Al. Sica et Za. Siddiqi, REDUCTION OF BARORECEPTOR-RELATED SYMPATHETIC DISCHARGE DURING NMDA RECEPTOR ANTAGONISM, Brain research, 665(2), 1994, pp. 323-326
N-MethyI-D-aspartate receptor blockade by MK-801 produced changes in t
he baroreceptor related component of pre-ganglionic sympathetic discha
rges in kittens. Spectral analyses carried out on sympathetic and bloo
d pressure signals demonstrated: (a) a marked reduction in amplitude o
f peaks, 2-6 Hz range, in sympathetic autopower spectra and (b) a subs
tantial decrease of coherence between sympathetic and blood pressure s
ignals in the 2-6 Hz range.
