Abstract:Inspiratory rhythm generating networks in the preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) are ~100‐fold more sensitive to ATP than XII MNs that control airway patency. This is believed to reflect in part that the effects of ATP in the preBötC are primarily mediated by P2Y1Rs while P2XRs receptors dominate the actions of ATP in XII MNs. However, the effects of P2Y1R signaling on XII motor output and MN properties have not been examined. To address this deficit, we applied nerve and whole‐cell recording techniques to rhythmi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
