Abstract
Background/aims: The glomus cells in the carotid bodies (CB) detect low pO2 level in arterial blood and the tractus solitarius (TS) conveys this information to 2nd-order neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), which is part of the chemoreflex pathways. It has been demonstrated that 2nd-order NTS neurons receiving inputs from the aortic depressor nerve (ADN), related to the baroreflex, present low temporal variability in response to TS stimulation. However, the temporal variability of synaptic activity in CB–NTS neurons is not yet completely understood.
