Abstract

The influence of pressure stimulation of a barorecptor upon the activity of the sympathetic nerve branch terminating in the wall of the contralateral carotid bifurcation was studied on narcotized dogs. The potential activity of this branch is of efferent nature. On the average, 570 msec after the pressure load applied to the opposite carotid sinus preparation, a silent period occurred. The duration of this silent period and the activity of the sympathetic nerve branch depend on the internal pressure of the preparation. The influence of different structures (central and peripheral) on latency, total and partial inhibition of the sympathetic activity are discussed.
