Abstract
Summary
In anesthetized dogs, bipolar stimulation (0.5 volt, 5/sec.) of the caudal portion of the floor of the fourth ventricle resulted in increased renal excretion of sodium and chloride, and a smaller increase in potassium excretion in 5 instances, slight changes in 3, and decreased excretion in 2. In 2 dogs, increasing the stimulus to 1 volt resulted in a decreased excretion rate of these electrolytes.
