Breathing movements in mammals are driven by rhythmic neural activity generated within
spatially and functionally organized brainstem neural circuits comprising the respiratory …

Breathing is an essential behavior that presents a unique opportunity to understand how the
nervous system functions normally, how it balances inherent robustness with a highly …

Cardiorespiratory coupling is an encompassing term describing more than the well-
recognized influences of respiration on heart rate and blood pressure. Our data indicate that …

Postsynaptic inhibition is a key element of neural circuits underlying behavior, with 20–50%
of all mammalian (nongranule) neurons considered inhibitory. For rhythmic movements in …

The circuit organization within the mammalian brainstem respiratory network, specifically
within and between the pre-Bötzinger (pre-BötC) and Bötzinger (BötC) complexes, and the …

Twenty‐five years ago, a new physiological preparation called the working heart–brainstem
preparation (WHBP) was introduced with the claim it would provide a new platform allowing …

We discuss recent evidence which suggests that the principal central respiratory
chemoreceptors are located within the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and that RTN neurons …

The ongoing process of breathing underlies the gas exchange essential for mammalian life.
Each respiratory cycle ensues from the activity of rhythmic neural circuits in the brainstem …

Computational models of the neural control system for breathing in mammals provide a
theoretical and computational framework bringing together experimental data obtained from …

In mammalian respiration, late-expiratory (late-E, or pre-inspiratory) oscillations emerge in
abdominal motor output with increasing metabolic demands (eg, during hypercapnia …
