Abstract:
:Extracellular microelectrode recordings were made from a total of 868 neurons in the medullas of cats in regions known to contain high densities of respiratory-related neurons (solitary tract complex, nucleus ambiguus/retroambigualis, lateral tegmental field). Both the discharge patterns and the locations of units were noted and correlated with a recently described substructure of the tegmental field of the cat medulla in which neuronal cell bodies are found associated with sheets of blood vessels supplying the brainstem. The majority of cells were phasically firing (59%) with activity confined to either the inspiratory or the expiratory phase, 21% were tonically firing cells with no discernible respiratory modulation and 20% were silent neurons, responsive to electrical stimulation of the vagus nerves or the dorsolateral pons in the vicinity of nucleus parabrachialis, but not to various respiratory stimuli. Within the solitary tract complex inspiratory discharge patterns were predominant (94%), while in nucleus ambiguus/retroambigualis 26% of the neurons had expiratory patterns with the rest being inspiratory (68%) or tonic (6%). Within the lateral tegmental field, the percentages of inspiratory, expiratory and tonic patterns were 51, 9 and 40%. Thus, inspiratory type patterns were found throughout the medulla, but expiratory patterns were most common in the ambiguus/retroambigualis nuclei. Found within all 3 major regions, but primarily within the lateral tegmental field of the rostral medulla were neurons that discharged with a brief burst at the inspiratory to expiratory phase transition. These cells had properties consistent with the off-switch mechanism: extreme late-inspiratory onset of discharge with the onset time being delayed by lung inflation, peak discharge at or slightly after the peak activity of the diaphragmatic EMG and a discharge rate which was insensitive to lung inflation. Within the lateral tegmental field, where longitudinal sheets of blood vessels running radially with respect to the IVth ventricle have been described, it was found that 85% of the tonically active units and 93% of the respiratory modulated cells were located less than 200 microns from the planes of these sheets. In addition, 87% of the neurons that could be antidromically or synaptically activated from the dorsolateral rostral pons were similarly located.
