β-noradrenergic receptor activation specifically modulates the generation of sighs in vivo and in vitro

The pre-Bötzinger complex (preBötC), an area that is critical for generating breathing (eupnea), gasps and sighs is continuously modulated by catecholamines. These amines and the generation of sighs have also been implicated in the regulation of arousal. Here we studied the catecho...
