Activation of caudal brainstem cell groups during the exercise pressor reflex in the cat as elucidated by 2-[14C]deoxyglucose

Brain Res. 1984 Jun 18;304(1):178-82. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(84)90878-3.

Abstract

Cell groups of the caudal brainstem were labeled with 2-[14C]deoxyglucose during the pressor response evoked by contraction of hindlimb muscles (exercise pressor reflex). The nuclear groups which were labeled in excess of control levels included: the lateral reticular nucleus, the inferior olive (medial accessory olive), and the lateral tegmental field (adjacent to the lateral reticular nucleus).
