re respiratory rhythm in brain slices.

from Refik Kanjhan, in Brisbane, August 2003


Of course you can show it to your class. I would be more that happy if
students can learn something out of it. The prep is 600 micron thick slice
preperation and it must have VLM intact. The XII motoneurons are driven by
synaptic inputs, mainly respiratory input from the VLM but also various
other modulatory inputs from other parts of the brain cortex, olfactory
bulb, raphe, locus subcoerules etc.
