Ventilatory responses to hypoxia vary widely depending on the pattern and length of hypoxic
exposure. Acute, prolonged, or intermittent hypoxic episodes can increase or decrease …

The in vitro brainstem-spinal cord preparation of newborn rats is an established model for
the analysis of respiratory network functions. Respiratory activity is generated by …

This completely revised edition of The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the second
most cited book in science, represents a dramatic update from the previous edition. Based …

Paxinos and Franklin's The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact Fifth Edition,
is the compact version of the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It …

Central congenital hypoventilation syndrome is caused by mutations of the gene that
encodes the transcription factor Phox2b. The syndrome is characterized by a severe form of …

The rat retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) contains pH‐sensitive neurons that are putative central
chemoreceptors. Here, we examined whether these neurons respond to peripheral …

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in rats produces changes in the central regulation of
cardiovascular and respiratory systems by unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that CIH …

The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contains barosensitive, bulbospinal neurons that
provide the main supraspinal excitatory input to sympathetic vasomotor preganglionic …

The distribution of the P2X2 receptor subunit of the adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP)‐
gated ion channels was examined in the adult rat central nervous system (CNS) by using …

The pre-Bötzinger complex (pre-BötC) is a physiologically defined group of ventrolateral
medullary neurons that plays a central role in respiratory rhythm generation. These cells are …
