Mean HR and BPa (±SE) responses from voluntarily diving Sham (N = 8) and Experimental (EXPT; N = 9) rats both before (Pre) and after (Post) AEN surgery. (A) predive HR; (B) average HR during diving; (C) lowest HR during diving; (D) absolute decrease in HR during diving; (E) predive BPa; and (F) maximal BPa during diving. 1 = Pre-surgery HRs were significantly different from Postsurgery HRs as indicated by two-way repeated measures ANOVAs. The responses from Sham and Experimental rats were not significantly different from each other as indicated by two-way repeated measures ANOVAs.
