Motoneuron firing patterns underlying fast oscillations in phrenic nerve discharge in the rat.
Fast oscillations are ubiquitous throughout the mammalian central nervous system and are especially prominent in respiratory motor outputs, including the phrenic nerves (PhNs). Some investigators have argued for an epiphenomenological basis for PhN high-frequency oscillations because phrenic motoneurons (PhMNs) firing at these same frequencies have never been recorded, although their existence ...
متن کاملGABAAergic and glycinergic inhibition in the phrenic nucleus organizes and couples fast oscillations in motor output.
One of the characteristics of respiratory motor output is the presence of fast synchronous oscillations, at rates far exceeding the basic breathing rhythm, within a given functional population. However, the mechanisms responsible for organizing phrenic output into two dominant bands in vivo, medium (MFO)- and high (HFO)-frequency oscillations, have yet to be elucidated. We hypothesize that GABA...
متن کاملPhrenic motoneuron firing rates before, during, and after prolonged inspiratory resistive loading.
Phrenic motoneuron firing rates during brief inspiratory resistive loading (IRL) are high, and nearly all the motoneurons are recruited. Diaphragmatic fatigue has been difficult to demonstrate during IRL. Furthermore, evidence from studies in limb muscles has shown variable motoneuron responses to prolonged high-intensity loads. We studied phrenic motoneuron firing rates before, during, and aft...
متن کاملMidcervical neuronal discharge patterns during and following hypoxia.
Anatomical evidence indicates that midcervical interneurons can be synaptically coupled with phrenic motoneurons. Accordingly, we hypothesized that interneurons in the C3-C4 spinal cord can display discharge patterns temporally linked with inspiratory phrenic motor output. Anesthetized adult rats were studied before, during, and after a 4-min bout of moderate hypoxia. Neuronal discharge in C3-C...
متن کاملPhrenic motoneuron discharge during sustained inspiratory resistive loading.
I determined whether prolonged inspiratory resistive loading (IRL) affects phrenic motoneuron discharge, independent of changes in chemical drive. In seven decerebrate spontaneously breathing cats, the discharge patterns of eight phrenic motoneurons from filaments of one phrenic nerve were monitored, along with the global activity of the contralateral phrenic nerve, transdiaphragmatic pressure,...
