Eletrofisiologia no isolado do tronco encefálico-espinal Preparações do cordão umbilical de recém-nascidos Roedores permite a gravação de saída Neural Rede Respiratory

The central respiratory drive is located in the brainstem. Spontaneous respiratory motor output from an isolated brainstem-spinal cord is recorded by placing an electrode on the fourth ventral root. This experimental approach is valuable for pharmacological investigations or the assessment of respiratory challenges and genetic manipulations on rhythmic motor behavior.
