Functional Interactions between Mammalian Respiratory Rhythmogenic and Premotor Circuitry

Breathing in mammals depends on rhythms that originate from the preBötzinger complex (preBötC) of the ventral medulla and a network of brainstem and spinal premotor neurons. The rhythm-generating core of the preBötC, as well as some premotor …
