| Abstract: | The dorsolateral pons around the parabrachial nucleus including the Kölliker-Fuse nucleus is closely linked with the medullary respiratory center and plays an important role in respiratory control. We aimed to elucidate the firing properties, detailed distributions, and medullary projections of pontine respiratory neurons in pentobarbitone-anesthetized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated rats with intact vagi. |
