text: Yo, we ran some tests, check this out, listen close,
  Activated chemoreceptors and baroreceptors, that's the dose.
  Hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus in rats, we explored,
  To see how they react when we stirred.
  
  Chemoreceptors, we hit 'em with NaCl, 0.9%,
  CO2 in the mix, that's how it's defined.
  Baroreceptors, we raised the pressure high,
  Injected phenylephrine, that's the reason why.
  
  Chemoreceptor stimulation, it got 'em fired up,
  But baroreceptor stimulation, it made 'em shut up.
  All them phasically discharging neurons,
  Reacted differently, we had to learn.
  
  Non-phasically discharging neurons, not much to say,
  Sometimes inhibited, but not in a consistent way.
  Carotid bifurcation got anesthetized,
  Effects on neurons, they were neutralized.
  
  But when the anesthesia wore off, they came back,
  And the phasic pattern of discharge, it was off track.
  These results, they got us talking, we discussed,
  How cardiovascular receptors affect the nucleus.
  
  And maybe, just maybe, they got a role to play,
  In controlling vasopressin secretion, that's what we say.
  So that's the scoop, the findings we found,
  In the language of rap, we laid it down.
