Abstract:
:Results of the preceding paper32 suggest that bulbo-pontine respiration related units (RRU) could be classed into 4 populations according to the relation of their peak firing frequency to the respiratory cycle: one inspiratory (I) and 3 expiratory (E) (early, mid and late). A further study of their spatial distribution is reported. Recorded units totalling 26,520 were distributed through a matrix of unitary cubes of which about 2,000 were found within the limits of the medulla and pons. Both percentage and density of respiratory and non-respiratory units were estimated in each cube. Statistical analysis of unit distribution showed a high probability of finding RRU in certain regions. The probability of finding I and E units in separate cubes was high, whereas there was no probability better than chance for recording one of the 3 E types separately from the 2 others. Therefore, only two populations, I and E, could be considered for spatial analysis. A thresholding technique applied to I and E unit density figures in unitary cubes demonstrated a definite limit for I and E populations. A computerized, three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the outer surfaces of the I and E networks showed that half a medullary system consisted of 2 contiguous and uninterrupted columns extending from the cervical junction up to the pneumotaxic system. The main body of the I population was found in the caudal third and dorsolateral part of the bulbopontine region, while the main body of the E population was in the middle third in a ventromedial position. Both have caudal and rostral extensions that run parallel to the main axis of the brainstem and give rise to several lateral branches; these lie in close contact and interdigitate extensively, especially in the rostral third of the bulbopontine region. From the outer limits of I and E networks, a progressive increase of unit density levels was observed towards the core; it showed that inside both I and E populations, RRU aggregate into high density foci (HDF). Large HDF were found in the main body of each population. Smaller HDF were observed scattered throughout the medulla; I, and to a lesser extent E, HDF invade and surround sensory and motor nuclei and roots of the branchial nerves.
