Abstract
The author previously reported that the cutaneous touch stimuli mainly cause temporary augmentation, while the cutaneous pressure stimuli will mainly cause inhibition upon the pneumogram and EMG in rabbits, however, the alternative action of the respiratory center, alternation of respiratory movement, was not mentioned at the last report. In the present paper the author is to report the results of the experimental data quantitatively, and to state the following evidences as to the alternative action of the respiratory center:
1. Cutaneous touch stimuli caused temporary augmentation upon the alternative action of the respiratory center.
2. Cutaneous pressure stimuli caused inhibition upon the alternative action of the respiratory center.
