Frequency-domain analyses were used to determine the effect of cold stress on the relationships between the discharge bursts of sympathetic nerve pairs, sympathetic and aortic depressor nerve pairs, and sympathetic and phrenic nerve pairs in chloralose-anesthetized, baroreceptor-innervated rats. Sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) was recorded from the renal, lumbar, splanchnic, and adrenal nerves during decreases in core body temperature from 38 to 30°C. The following observations were made. 1) Hypothermia produced nonuniform changes in the level of activity in regionally selective sympathetic nerves. Specifically, cold stress increased lumbar and decreased renal SND but did not significantly change the level of activity in splanchnic and adrenal nerves. 2) The cardiac-related pattern of renal, lumbar, and splanchnic SND bursts was transformed to a low-frequency (0-2 Hz) pattern during cooling, despite the presence of pulse-synchronous activity in arterial baroreceptor afferents. 3) Peak coherence values relating the discharges between sympathetic nerve pairs decreased at the cardiac frequency but were unchanged at low frequencies (0-2 Hz), indicating that the sources of low-frequency SND bursts remain prominently coupled during progressive reductions in core body temperature. 4) Coherence of discharge bursts in phrenic and renal sympathetic nerve pairs in the 0- to 2-Hz frequency band increased during mild hypothermia (36°C) but decreased during deep hypothermia (30°C). We conclude that hypothermia profoundly alters the organization of neural circuits involved in regulation of sympathetic nerve outflow to selected regional circulations.
