Neural control of breathing: insights from genetic mouse models.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies described the in vivo ventilatory phenotype of mutant newborn mice with targeted deletions of genes involved in the organization and development of the respiratory-neuron network. Whole body flow barometric plethysmography is the noninvasive method of choice for studying unrestrained newborn mice. Breathing-pattern abnormalities with apneas occur in mutant newborn mice that lack genes involved in...
