Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: Neurons of the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and medullary serotonin (5-HT) neurons are both candidates for central CO2 /pH chemoreceptors, but it is not known how interactions between them influence their responses to pH. We found that RTN neurons in brain slices were stimulated by exogenous 5-HT and by heteroexchange release of endogenous 5-HT, and these responses were blocked by antagonists of 5-HT7...
