Pre-Botzinger Complex: A Brainstem Region That May Generate Respiratory Rhythm in Mammals

TL;DR: The respiratory rhythm in the mammalian neonatal nervous system may result from a population of conditional bursting pacemaker neurons in the pre-Bötzinger Complex.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The TESS Science Processing Operations Center

TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will conduct a search for Earth's closest cousins starting in early 2018 and is expected to discover approximately 1,000 small planets with R(sub p) less than 4 (solar radius) and measure the masses of at least 50 of these small worlds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Models of Respiratory Rhythm Generation in the Pre-Bötzinger Complex. I. Bursting Pacemaker Neurons

TL;DR: Two minimal models of oscillatory bursting neurons with excitatory coupling are proposed to define the primary kernel for respiratory rhythm generation in the pre-Bötzinger complex (pre-B ÖtC) in mammals and are consistent with many of the dynamic features of electrophysiological recordings from pre- BötC oscillatory Burst neurons in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal pacemaker for breathing visualized in vitro.

TL;DR: Visualization of the activity of inspiratory pacemaker neurons at single-cell and population levels with calcium-sensitive dye provides evidence that the neuronal kernel for rhythm generation consists of a network of synaptically-coupled pacemaker neuron.
