Abstract

The effects of the stimulation of various segments of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus on the electrical activity of the wall of the pyloric region of the stomach were studied with the use of microelectrode techniques in acute experiments in cats. It was established that the maximal changes of the parameters of the electromyogram are recorded during the stimulation of the zone of the nucleus 0−+1.5 mm rostral to the obex.
