Partial spectral analysis of cardiac-related sympathetic nerve discharge.

چکیده
We have studied the relationship between pulse synchronous baroreceptor input (represented by the arterial pulse, AP) and the cardiac-related rhythm in sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) of urethan-anesthetized cats by using partial autospectral and partial coherence analysis. Partial autospectral analysis was used to mathematically remove the portion of SND that can be directly attributed to the AP, while partial coherence analysis was used to removed the portion of the relationship between the discharges of sympathetic nerve pairs that can be attributed to linear AP-SND relationships that are common to the nerves. The ordinary autospectrum of SND (AS(SND)) and coherence functions relating the discharges of nerve pairs (Coh(SND-SND)) contained a peak at the frequency of the heart beat. When the predominant mode of coordination between AP and SND was a phase walk, partialization of the autospectra of SND with AP (AS(SND/AP)) left considerable power in the cardiac-related band. In contrast, when the predominant mode of coordination between AP and SND was phase-locking, there was virtually no cardiac-related activity remaining in AS(SND/AP). Partialization of Coh(SND-SND) with AP reduced the peak coherence within the cardiac-related band in both modes of coordination but to a much greater extent during phase-locking. After baroreceptor denervation, Coh(SND-SND) at the cardiac frequency remained significant, although a clear peak above background coherence was no longer apparent. These results are consistent with a model in which the central circuits controlling different sympathetic nerves share baroreceptor inputs and in addition are physically interconnected. The baroreceptor-sympathetic relationship contains both linear and nonlinear components, the former reflected by phase-locking and the latter by phase walk. The residual power in AS(SND/AP) during phase walk can be attributed to the nonlinear relationship, and the residual peak in partialized nerve-to-nerve coherence (Coh(SND-SND/AP)) arises largely from nonlinearities that are common to the two nerves. During both phase walk and phase-locking, in addition to common nonlinear AP-SND relationships, coupling of the central circuits generating the nerve activities may contribute to Coh(SND-SND/AP) because significant Coh(SND-SND) was still observed following baroreceptor denervation.

Spike-triggered averaging, arterial pulse-triggered analysis, and coherence analysis were used to classify rostral dorsolateral pontine (RDLP) neurons into groups whose naturally occurring discharges were correlated to only the 10-Hz rhythm ( n = 29), to only the cardiac-related rhythm ( n = 15), and to both rhythms ( n = 15) in inferior cardiac sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) of urethan-anes...

Partial coherence analysis was used to remove the influences of pulse-synchronous baroreceptor nerve activity (as reflected by the arterial pulse) on the coherence of the cardiac-related discharges of sympathetic nerve pairs in unanesthetized decerebrate cats. It can be predicted that the peak at the heart rate frequency in the ordinary coherence function relating the discharges of two nerves w...

We used time series analysis to characterize the relationships among the arterial pulse (AP) and the cardiac-related and 10-Hz rhythms in sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) of urethane-anesthetized cats. We found that 10-Hz activity was more tightly coupled to the AP than to the cardiac-related rhythm. These data support the view that the dynamic coupling of AP and the 10-Hz rhythm in SND involv...
