    Significance of multiple neurochemicals that regulate respiration

    No full text
    Current efforts to characterize the neuronal mechanisms that underlie automatic breathing generally adopt a ‘minimalist’ approach. In this review, we survey three of the many neurochemicals that are known to be present in rapheneurons and may be involved in respiration. Specifically, we ask the question, ‘Is the minimalist approach consistent with the large number of neuronal types and neurochemicals found in respiratory centres?’6 page(s
