Summary
The excitability of the vasomotor center was investigated by stimulating the baroreceptors of the carotid sinus zones of 24 rabbits, anesthetized with urethane, during operations on their auricles. Ligation of the auricle caused a decrease in the excitability of the vasomotor center, which was expressed as inhibition, which could even be complete, of the pressor reflexes. Section of both vagi did not abolish this effect. Section of both depressor nerves completely abolished these reactions.
