5-HT Neurons and CO₂ chemoreception: effects of anesthetics, development, and genetic background
Breathing is an essential homeostatic function and its disruption leads to disability, brain damage, and death. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) neurons in the brainstem play an important role in control of breathing. Medullary 5-HT neurons are stimulated by increased CO₂ and subsequently stimu...
