Discharge identity of medullary inspiratory neurons is altered during repetitive fictive cough

This study investigated the stability of the discharge identity of inspiratory decrementing (I Dec) and augmenting (I Aug) neurons in the caudal (cVRC) and rostral (rVRC) ventral respiratory column during repetitive fictive cough in the cat. Inspiratory neurons in the cVRC (n = 23) and rVRC (n = 17)...
