Breathing behaviour involves the generation of normal breaths (eupnoea) on a timescale of
seconds and sigh breaths on the order of minutes. Both rhythms emerge in tandem from a�…

Activities of the phrenic and internal intercostal nerves show that the central nervous rhythm
of respiration consists of 3 phases: inspiratory, postinspiratory and expiratory. The discharge�…

Breathing is vital for survival but also interesting from the perspective of rhythm generation.
This rhythmic behavior is generated within the brainstem and is thought to emerge through�…

Breathing results from the interaction of two distinct oscillators: the pre-B�tzinger Complex
(preB�tC), which drives inspiration; and the lateral parafacial region (pFRG), which drives�…

Breathing emerges through complex network interactions involving neurons distributed
throughout the nervous system. The respiratory rhythm generating network is composed of�…

Recent studies in vivo and in vitro suggest that both respiratory rhythmogenesis and its
central chemosensory modulation arise from multiple, mechanistically and/or anatomically�…

The circuit organization within the mammalian brainstem respiratory network, specifically
within and between the pre-B�tzinger (pre-B�tC) and B�tzinger (B�tC) complexes, and the�…

The central respiratory network that includes the pre-B�tzinger complex (pre-B�tC), a region
believed to contain rhythmogenic neurons, is capable of responding to fluctuations in CO2�…

Breathing is controlled by a distributed network involving areas in the neocortex, cerebellum,
pons, medulla, spinal cord, and various other subcortical regions. However, only one area�…
