Respiratory rhythm generation in vivo

Physiology (Bethesda). 2014 Jan;29(1):58-71. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00035.2013.

Abstract

The cellular and circuit mechanisms generating the rhythm of breathing in mammals have been under intense investigation for decades. Here, we try to integrate the key discoveries into an updated description of the basic neural processes generating respiratory rhythm under in vivo conditions.
