RESPIRATORY EFFECTS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CORDOTOMIZED DECEREBRATE (SCHIFF-SHERRINGTON) PHENOMENON

Fifteen cats and five dogs were decerebrated at the midcollicular level and then cordotomized at the twelfth thoracic level. We observed an abrupt augmentation of respiration as a previously undefined effect within the Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon in decerebrate cats immediately upon the transectio...

Zusammenfassung:Fifteen cats and five dogs were decerebrated at the midcollicular level and then cordotomized at the twelfth thoracic level. We observed an abrupt augmentation of respiration as a previously undefined effect within the Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon in decerebrate cats immediately upon the transection of the spinal cord, averaging a 56% increases in minute volume (P
