Changes in respiratory movements were observed in vagotomized, urethanized rabhits during electric stimulation of the brainstem.

Gross bodily movements due to increased tone of extensor muscles were often observed during stimula-tion, upon which superimposed respiration of increased rate.

The more distinct respiratory responses were ob-served the more caudal portion of the brain-stem was stimulated. Increased amplitude and decreased rate due to prolonged inspiration were usually followed by increased rate. Respiration of decreased amplitude was accompanied by expiratory shift of the mid-posi-tion and resulted in an expiratory stillstand when the stimulus intensity was increased. The former res-ponses may be called facilitatory and the latter inhibitory. Facilitatory responses were obtained from fairly extensive area of the brain-stem, while the inhibitory effects were evoked by stimulation of the limited area of the lateral reticular formation in the upper brain-stem and both medial and lateral region below the level of occulomotor nuclei.

Respiratory responses resulted from stimulation of the pons and medulla were essentially identical with those of upper brain-stem. Inspiratory and expiratory spasms were easily induced and the inhibitory and facilitatory areas are rather intermingled. These results do not support the existence of the pneumo-taxic center in the pons. A possibility was discussed that the respiratory periodicity of medullary origin is under the control of reticular facihtatory and inhibitory activity.
