PALEOCEREBELLAR INHIBITION OF VASOMOTOR AND RESPIRATORY CAROTID SINUS REFLEXES

Abstract
A weak faradic stimulation of the vermian cortex of the anterior lobe (cerebellum) strongly inhibits the vasomotor and respiratory reflexes from the carotid sinus and carotid body presso- and chemo-receptors. This vegetative action is independent of the well known paleocerebellar inhibition of postural tonus and it is due to the activity of the neurones of the stimulated cortex.
