AI Article Synopsis
- Respiratory activities are generated by rhythm generators in the medulla and are influenced by various regions in the lower brainstem, then transmitted as motor signals to the body.
- Recent research has expanded our understanding of the anatomical and physiological processes involved in how these respiratory rhythms are created and regulated.
- This review aims to highlight and clarify the latest discoveries regarding the anatomical and functional aspects of respiratory control specifically in the lower brainstem and spinal cord.
Article Abstract
Respiratory activities are produced by medullary respiratory rhythm generators and are modulated from various sites in the lower brainstem, and which are then output as motor activities through premotor efferent networks in the brainstem and spinal cord. Over the past few decades, new knowledge has been accumulated on the anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying the generation and regulation of respiratory rhythm. In this review, we focus on the recent findings and attempt to elucidate the anatomical and functional mechanisms underlying respiratory control in the lower brainstem and spinal cord.
