Experiments in anaesthetized nonparalyzed cats indicated that mechanical stimulation of the airways and a longitudinal split of the brainstem cause marked alterations of the regulatory function of the bulbar respiratory neurones. The resulting changes in breathing and in defensive airways reflexes depend on intactness of the relevant structures of both halves of the "respiratory centre" and their interconnections.
