Characterizing the phenotype of pre-Bötzinger Complex neurons in rats.

Abstract excerpt

The pre-Bötzinger Complex (preBötC) is a key medullary region responsible for generating breathing. In rodents, preBötC neurons are divided almost evenly between excitatory neurons, which express vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGluT2), and inhibitory neurons expressing either glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) or glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2). The interaction between excitatory and inhibitory neurons plays a...
