Peripheral chemoreceptor and baroreceptor afferents have been extensively studied in the past 2-3 decades, not only at the sensory level, but also in terms of their interaction with the brainstem and their overall role in regulating cardiovascular and respiratory f~ nctions.'-~ Although most of the studies have been performed in the adult human or anin~ al,~-'~ some have focused on these afferent systems in the fetus and in the newborn postnatally. l5-I7 Modest hypoventilation at rest (normoxia) and major diminution of the hypoxic drive have resulted from removal of the carotid bodies or from section of the carotid sinus in the mature subject. Sectioning of the same nerve in the fetus just before birth does not seem to affect the initiation of breathing or its pattern at the time of birth." Additional studies in the newborn have suggested that chemo-and baroreceptor function matures rapidly postnatally (in days), if it is not mature by birth. Ig In the newborn, sectioning of the carotid sinus nerve, for example, induces hypoventilation at rest and a diminished hypoxic drive upon challenge with hypoxic inspired air, much like the response in the adult. Hence, no major differences have been described between the role of the carotid body/sinus in the mature subject and in the newborn. In the past few years, however, data from several laboratories including our own have strongly suggested that this generalization may not be c~ rrect.'~-'~ These receptors may have a much more critical role to play in the newborn than has previously been appreciated. It was during an investigation of laryngeal receptors and how hypoxia influences breakthrough breathing subsequent to laryngeal stimulation that we noticed that carotiddenervated piglets have an abnormal breathing pattern with severe apneas. To examine systematically the effect of sinus and/or aortic nerve deafferentation as a function of age postnatally, we undertook examinations of the respiratory and cardiovascular function of young and older piglets after denervation and compared them to controls. We used piglets in this work since they have several advantages over other species. These include:(1) they
