Respiratory Changes during Electrical Stimulation of Rhinencephalic Structures in the Foetal Guinea-pig

Nature volume 210, pages 1176–1178 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE rhinencephalon regulates a number of vegetative and somatic functions such as the respiration, blood pressure, reflexes and tonus of musculature, and movements of the intestine1–3.
