Central Amino Acid Neurotransmitters, Ventilatory Output and Metabolism During Acute Hypdxia in Anesthetized Rats
Acute hypoxia decreases VO2in small mammals.1The magnitude of the fall in V02is related to the age of the animal, the level of hypoxia and the degree of development at birth.1In addition to the fall in Vo2with ex...

Information Content of Arterial Chemoreceptor Discharge Pattern
Several methods of analysis have been applied to the pattern of neural discharge from arterial chemoreceptor afferents to try to learn more about mechanisms of chemoreception. Over a given range of stimulus le...

Role of Avian Intrapulmonary Chemoreceptors in the Ventilatory Response in Inhaled Carbon Dioxide: Effects of Acetazolamide in the Duck
Acetazolamide (Diamox) was administered to ducks to block carbonic anhydrase (CA). Two series of experiments were performed. In Series I, ventilation was measured in spontaneously breathing, unanesthetized bir...

Effects of Intrapulmonary Chemoreceptors in Perfused and Non-Perfused Lungs
We measured respiratory movements in 21 thoracotomized cockerels whose lungs were unidirectionally ventilated separately. The right lungs were denervated so that variations in right pulmonary
