CO<sub>2</sub>-Sensitive Preinspiratory Neurons of the Parafacial Respiratory Group Express Phox2b in the Neonatal Rat
26 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Phox2b protein is a specific marker for neurons in the parafacial region of the ventral medulla, which are proposed to play a role in central chemoreception and postnatal survival. Mutations of PHOX2B cause congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. However, there have been no reports concerning electrophysiological characteristics of these Phox2b-expressing neurons in the parafacial region of the neonate...
