Asymmetric neuromodulation in the respiratory network contributes to rhythm and pattern generation

The paper investigates how asymmetric neuromodulation in the respiratory network influences rhythm and pattern generation through computational modeling and electrophysiological experiments.

Blood pressure pulsations modulate olfactory bulb neuronal activity via mechanosensitive ion channels

The pre-Bötzinger complex is necessary for the expression of post-inspiration

This study investigates the role of the pre-Botzinger complex in respiratory motor patterns by inactivating it in a rat brainstem preparation, showing its necessity for post-inspiration and inspiratory activity.

Reciprocal connectivity of the periaqueductal gray with the ponto-medullary respiratory network in rat.

This study maps reciprocal connectivity between the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and brainstem respiratory nuclei in rats, revealing distinct patterns of connectivity with the Kolliker-Fuse nucleus and limited connections with the Botzinger complex.

Forebrain projection neurons target functionally diverse respiratory control areas in the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata

The paper maps descending forebrain projections to midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata respiratory control nuclei, revealing distinct cortical inputs to specific nuclei involved in breathing and orofacial behaviors.
