Activation of a novel medullary pathway elicits a vagal, cholinergic bronchoconstriction in guinea-pigs

J A Hey et al. Pulm Pharmacol. 1990.

Abstract

Electrical stimulation of structures within the rostral region of the dorsal medulla of the guinea-pig activates a vagal cholinergic bronchoconstriction pathway and simultaneously activates a sympathetic inhibitory input. Removal of the latter by spinal section potentiated CNS-induced bronchospasm.
