Abstract excerpt
Previous studies based on mouse genetic mutations suggest that proper partitioning of the hindbrain into transient, genetically-defined segments called rhombomeres is required for normal respiratory development and function in neonates. Less clear is what role these genes and the neurons they define play in adult respiratory circuit organization. Several Cre drivers are used to access and study developmental...
