Summary In dogs, one kidney was transplanted into the neck and reinnervated by Shpuga's method; the central and of the sectioned vagosympathetic nerve was joined to the peripheral end of renal nerves, and the change in respiration due to different stimuli was studied. A reflex change occurred when the kidney was stimulated mechanically or by induced current, or when the renal pelvis was dilated by fluid under pressure or irrigated by sodium, potassium, calcium, or magnesium chloride solutions. By this method it was possible to experiment on the kidney interoceptors in chronic preparations.
