single-unit recording experiments were done in chloralose-anesthetized , paralyzed and artificially ventilated cats to identify neurons in ventrolateral medulla ( vlm ) that send efferent axons directly to the region of the nucleus of the solitary tract ( nts ) and receive cardiovascular afferent inputs from the carotid sinus ( csn ) and aortic depressor ( adn ) nerves and the nts .
