Abstract:The pre-Botzinger complex (preBotC), located in the medulla, is the essential rhythm-generating neural network for breathing. The actions of opioids on this network impair its ability to generate robust, rhythmic output, contributing to life-threatening opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD).The occurrence of OIRD varies across individuals and internal and external states, increasing the risk of opioid use, yet the mechanisms of this variability are largely unknown. In this study, we utilize a computatio… Show more
