Fig 2. Animal-by-animal effects of cerebellectomy on cough.

A) Percent change of maximum EMG amplitude >1 hour post-cerebellectomy during cough, plotted by animal number for the diaphragm, parasternal, posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA), thyroarytenoid, and internal oblique muscles. Note the spread for each muscle in the increasing and decreasing directions. B) Examples from 4 animals showing disparate responses to cerebellectomy. While there was a trend towards the enhancement of some cough related EMGs, particularly the inspiratory pump muscles (Animals 3 and 4), individual responses were heterogeneous, with some EMGs being suppressed (Animal 3) or not changing at all (Animal 9). n = 9.
