Chemosensitive neurons on the ventral medullary surface
Abstract
Central chemosensitivity is ascribed to three areas on the ventral medullary surface. The discharge frequency of neurons observed in these areas depends upon pH. Other neurons within the same areas do not change their frequency during acidosis or alkalosis. Histologically the areas are characterized by superficial nerve cells.
