Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia causes apnea and postural muscle hypotonia in fetal sheep, a response thought to arise by descending inhibition from a group of lateral pontine neurons that express FOS protein after hypoxia. To determine the neurochemical phenotype, and whether these neurons project to the cervical spinal cord, the retrograde tracer CTB-gold was injected into the C5-C8 ventral horn of four fetal sheep at 110 days...
