REACTION OF BULBAR CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY NEURONS TO INTRA-ATRIAL LASER IRRADIATION

Unilateral changes in activity of afferent and intercalary cardiovascular neurons were observed during intra-atrial laser irradiation. Most respiratory neurons shortened the burst duration and the number of spikes in it. These changes in neuronal activity seem to play an important role in the antiarrhythmic effect of laser irradiation, preventing discoordination of activity of the bulbar cardiovascular center.
