Abstract
RANDALL1 noted that the perfusion of water containing the teleost Tinca tinca with ethyl m-aminobenzoate (MS 222) caused an increase in heart and respiration rates. Although these increases did not correlate significantly, he concluded that there was probably some connexion between the cardiac and the respiratory centres in the central nervous system.
