“…These subsystems are functional in nature and engage mainly the following functions operating in dynamic interactions with other subsystems to a greater or lesser degree. These subsystems are virtually different from the classical subcenters such as the pneumotaxic, apneustic, inspirafory, expiratory, and gasping centers for the respiratory rhythm generation [8,13,14,19,20,44,48,52,59,60]. Multiple functions of the central respiratory mechanisms are as follows.…”

“…Respiratory modulated patterns of unit activities have been recorded from neurons having respiratory firing rhythms in the central nervous system in various species of animals [1,3,4,9,13,14,19,27,37,46,53,58]. These neurons are referred to as respiratory neurons [16,22,47] or respiration-related neurons [13,15] and are conventionally identified on the basis of significant correlation with efferent phrenic nerve activity.…”

The motoneuronal populations controlling the respiratory motor apparatus are located from sites in the brain stem to lumbar segments of the spinal cord [48,60]. In production and maintenance of respiratory movements these motoneuronal pools are mainly regulated by specific integrative neural mechanisms, the so-called central respiratory mechanisms, under various conditions. Rhythmic control of the act of breathing is performed by a rhythmic nervous activity which originates in the lower brain stem [13,15,16,47,60]. Respiratory movements are continuously adjusted in response to physiological demands of the organism by neural [13,15,16,47,60] and chemical respiratory control mechanisms [54]. These dynamic regulatory processes are maintained involving the entire neuraxis [16,21,35], although the central respiratory mechanisms in the brain stem play a main role in the regulation of breathing [13,15;16, 24, 36].
