Differential effects of acute cerebellectomy on cough in spontaneously breathing cats.

The role of the cerebellum in controlling the cough motor pattern is not well understood. We hypothesized that cerebellectomy would disinhibit motor drive to respiratory muscles during cough. Cough was induced by mechanical stimulation of the tracheobronchial airways in anesthetized, spontaneously b...

During cough at 10 minutes after cerebellectomy, inspiratory esophageal pressure was increased by 44% (p = 0.004), thyroarytenoid (laryngeal adductor) muscle EMG amplitude increased 13% (p = 0.04), and no change was observed in the posterior cricoarytenoid (laryngeal abductor) EMG.
