Neurochemistry and anatomy of the ventral medulla
The relationship between the anatomy and neurochemistry of neurons in the ventral medulla oblongata in regions that is responsible for cardiovascular, airways, and respiratory regulation was investigated. Microinjections of excitant amino acid (glutamate, 100 nl, 100 mM) were made throughout the ventral medulla in anesthetized rats. Arterial blood pressure, sympathetic nerve activity and phreni...

متن کاملBenzodiazepine receptor antagonist (flumazenil) does not affect sleep-related breathing disorders.
Benzodiazepine drugs may impair breathing during sleep, leading to the development of sleep-disordered breathing or, in subjects with sleep apnoea, an increase in the severity of pre-existing apnoeas. Flumazenil is a selective benzodiazepine-antagonist. We hypothesized that endogenous ligands of benzodiazepine receptors might contribute to the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (...
متن کاملBlockade of neurokinin-1 receptors in the ventral respiratory column does not affect breathing but alters neurochemical release.
Substance P (SP) and its receptor, neurokinin-1 (NK1R), have been shown to be excitatory modulators of respiratory frequency and to stabilize breathing regularity. Studies in anesthetized mice suggest that tonic activation of NK1Rs is particularly important when other excitatory inputs to the pre-Bötzinger complex in the ventral respiratory column (VRC) are attenuated. Consistent with these fin...
متن کاملInitiating inspiration outside the medulla does produce eupneic breathing.
ARTERIAL PCO2 IS DICTATED by the ratio between the level of pulmonary gas exchange and alveolar ventilation (V̇A), not minute ventilation. If so, how could isocapnia be maintained if only the magnitude (tidal volume, VT) and duration (TI and TTOT) of the neural output produced by the central pattern generator of breathing (CPG) can be altered? In other words, what is the strategy used by the res...
