摘要: Although brainstem serotonergic (5-HT) systems are involved in the protective responses to hypoxia, abnormalities of 5-HT function strongly implicated SIDS, and neurochemical mechanisms by which receptors influence cardiorespiratory hypoxia remains unclear. This study focuses on role excitatory neurotransmission, including 5-HT3 signaling, cardiac vagal neurons (CVNs) that dominate control heart rate. Excitatory synaptic inputs CVNs, located nucleus ambiguus (NA), were recorded simultaneously with respiratory activity vitro slices. During conditions CVNs blocked application NMDA AMPA/kainate glutamatergic receptor antagonists, whereas purinergic antagonists ondansetron pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS), respectively, had no effect. However, during inhibited neurotransmission CVNs. In recovery from spontaneous respiratory-related events blockers, ondancetron These results demonstrate recruits a pathway activates maintain parasympathetic hypoxia.
