Figure Lengend Snippet: Each panel depicts the overlain isolated spikes, cardiac cross‐correlograms, and respiratory cross‐correlograms of an axon recorded during slow, deep breathing in three different participants, as well as the corresponding average of respiratory belt movement (mean [solid black line] ± standard deviation [dotted black line]). A , participant 1, right vagus; B , participant 4, left vagus; C , participant 7, right vagus. Neurones were designated as putative cardiac efferents if they had negative‐going spikes (indicative of unmyelinated axons), displayed cardiac rhythmicity on their corresponding cardiac cross‐correlogram, and post‐inspiratory or expiratory rhythmicity on their corresponding respiratory cross‐correlogram. Rhythmicity was defined by the presence of evident cardiac phasic or respiratory phasic fluctuations in the identified spike's firing frequency. Three such neurones were identified: two from the right vagus and one from the left. I‐PI, inspiratory‐post‐inspiratory transition
