We studied the effects of brain stem lesions or transection on the 10-Hz and 2- to 6-Hz rhythms in sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) in baroreceptor-denervated unanesthetized decerebrate cats. The results indicate that these two rhythms depend in part on different brain stem regions. The 10-Hz rhythm was eliminated by ablation of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), medullary raphe complex, or pontine parabrachial and Kolliker-Fuse complex (PB/KF) or by pontomedullary border transection. Except for RVLM lesions, these procedures did not disrupt the 2- to 6-Hz rhythm in SND. In fact the power in SND at frequencies less than 6 Hz was increased by raphe or PB/KF lesions. Total power in SND was not significantly affected by raphe or PB/KF lesions, but mean arterial pressure was significantly reduced. Field potentials recorded from the RVLM (11 of 26 sites) and raphe (10 of 20 sites) were correlated to the 10-Hz rhythm in SND, further supporting a role of these areas in either generating or relaying this rhythm to sympathetic nerves. In contrast, field potentials recorded from the PB/KF were not correlated to the 10-Hz rhythm in SND. Thus this region may provide a tonic drive to the 10-Hz generator located elsewhere in the brain stem.
