Fig. 3. A schematic drawing of the medulla showing the responses to glutamate
injection at each coordinate. Numbers in brackets denote the total number of
animals injected at that coordinate. The other numbers above and beneath the
symbols at a specific coordinate represent the number of animals that have
shown that particular response. Filled symbols depict a decrease, whereas open
symbols depict an increase. Note the differences in distribution of the
pressor and depressor responses, as well as the excitatory ventilatory
responses. Heart rate (fH), ventilation frequency
(fV), ventilation amplitude (VAMP).
