Abstract:
Acute experiments on anesthetized rats showed differential effect of various areas of the sensorimotor cortex on activity of the respiratory center. It is hypothesized that GABAergic structures of the solitary tract nucleus play an important role in the mechanisms of respiratory effects of the sensorimotor cortex.
