TLDR
A significant reduction in the expression of 5- HT(1A)R, 5-HT(1B) R, and 5-ht(2A) R in multiple respiratory-related nuclei at P12 is consistent with reduced serotonergic transmission during the critical period, thereby rendering the animals less able to respond adequately to ventilatory distress.

Pontine mechanisms of respiratory control.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the pontine-mediated inspiratory off-switch (IOS) associated with postinspiratory glottal constriction, which is examined in the context of pontine regulation ofglottal resistance in response to multimodal sensory inputs and higher commands.

Neuronal Control of Breathing: Sex and Stress Hormones

TL;DR: The role of sex hormones in respiratory control throughout life is reviewed, emphasizing how natural fluctuations in hormones are reflected in ventilatory metrics and how disruption of their endogenous cycle can predispose to respiratory disease.

Excitatory–inhibitory imbalance in hypoglossal neurons during the critical period of postnatal development in the rat

TL;DR: Findings from recordings of single nerve cells show that, during this critical period of normal postnatal respiratory network development, the responses to excitation and those to inhibition are significantly enhanced, indicating that the system is under greater inhibitory influence at this time.

Peripheral-central chemoreceptor interaction and the significance of a critical period in the development of respiratory control.

TL;DR: Carotid body denervation during the first two postnatal weeks in the rat profoundly affects the development and functions of central respiratory-related nuclei, suggesting that the critical period may be intrinsically and genetically determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased GABAA receptor binding in the medullary serotonergic system in the sudden infant death syndrome.

TL;DR: The data suggest that medullary GABAA receptors are abnormal in SIDS infants and that SIDS is a complex disorder of a homeostatic network in the medulla that involves deficits of the GABAergic and 5-HT systems.

International Union of Pharmacology classification of receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (Serotonin).

TL;DR: It is evident that in the last decade or so, a vast amount of new information has become available concerning the various 5-HT receptor types and their characteristics, and it is important to rationalise in concert all of the available data from studies involving both operational approaches of the classical pharmacological type and those from molecular and cellular biology.

Distribution of serotonin-immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of the rat-cell bodies and terminals.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate a widespread occurrence of 5-HT-positive nerve terminals throughout the central nervous system and the finding that serotonin-containing neurons are present in many nuclei that also include catecholamine- containing neurons makes it necessary to reconsider the terminology of the monoaminergic cell groups.
