The effect of the ventrolateral medulla electrical stimulation of various intensity on resistance, capacitance and exchange functions was studied in the vascular bed of the small intestine. Brain activation with superliminal current applied to a point 2 mm rostral-wise of the middle of the twelfth cranial nerve rootlets has been shown to produce the strongest effect on the precapillary resistance of the vascular bed, whereas brain stimulation in a point 2 mm caudal-wise of this level produces a much stronger effect on the postcapillary small intestine resistance.
