A study of the action of cathodic and anodic polarization on the frog respiratory center depressed by elimination of afferent impulses

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Frog respiration was arrested by elimination of afferent impulses originating in the aortic reflexogenous zone; it could be restored only by local cathodic polarization of the nerve cells of the inspiratory area of the respiratory center. Elimination of this stream of impulses also caused background electrical activity to cease.
