Abstract
Neurones which are excited by CO2 or H+ are present in a number of brainstem structures in addition to the ventrolateral region of the medulla, the site at which the respiratory response to hypercapnia is traditionally believed to originate. In this review we examine recent work concerned with establishing the relationship between these chemosensitive neurones and respiration, the emphasis being placed on the use for this purpose of in vitro preparations of the mammalian brainstem.Keywords
