Abstract
Using a method based on averaging the conditional probabilities of recurrence intervals, a comparative analysis was performed to estimate the direction of coupling between different physiological rhythms (fluctuations in blood pressure, respiration, and neuronal activity in the reticular formation of the medulla oblongata) in two groups of anesthetized rats with or without painful stimulation. Different variants were observed for the directions of coupling between the rhythms. A statistically significant unidirectionality of coupling was detected with most of the data obtained from rats of the control group and rats with experimentally induced colitis. Painful stimulation did not affect the direction of coupling, but slightly reduced the amount of data with unidirectional coupling. Rhythms associated with the cardiovascular system (blood pressure variability) were controlled by rhythms of the respiratory system, and the respiratory rhythm controlled the variability of neuronal activity in the reticular formation of the medulla oblongata.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
