Journal ArticleDOI

Which came first, the lung or the breath?

TL;DR: Air ventilatory mechanisms in the actinopterygian lineage are similar among different groups, including Polypteriformes, but are distinct from those of lungfish and tetrapods, however, there is extreme variation within this apparent dichotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental disinhibition: turning off inhibition turns on breathing in vertebrates.

TL;DR: The results suggest that loss of an inhibitory signal during development (i.e., developmental disinhibition) is responsible for the developmental expression of air breathing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advantages of using microfabricated extracellular electrodes for in vitro neuronal recording

TL;DR: The fabrication methods and the characterisation and use of extracellalar microelectrode arrays for the detection of action potentials from neurons in culture and the use of such electrodes to obtain recordings from invertebrate neurons are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence that ventilatory rhythmogenesis in the frog involves two distinct neuronal oscillators.

TL;DR: The results suggest the respiratory network within the amphibian brainstem is composed of at least two distinct but interacting oscillators, the buccal and lung oscillators.
