Regulation of Breathing and Autonomic Outflows by Chemoreceptors

TL;DR: The effects of these various pathologies on brainstem cardiorespiratory networks are discussed, special consideration being given to the interactions between central and peripheral chemoreflexes.

C1 neurons: the body's EMTs

TL;DR: The C1 neurons reside in the rostral and intermediate portions of the ventrolateral medulla (RVLM, IVLM) as mentioned in this paper and use glutamate as a fast transmitter and synthesize catecholamines plus various neuropeptides.
