Abstract

The present work offers the first demonstration of successful life-supporting breathing paced by epidural stimulation (EDS) at the level of the phrenic nucleus, following a complete spinal cord injury in unanesthetized, decerebrate rats. Moreover, our experiments showed time- and frequency-dependent changes of evoked phrenic nerve activity during EDS that may serve as a target mechanism for pacing spinal phrenic motor networks.
