Sympathetic nerve activity often fluctuates with the respiratory cycle, but the central neurons that impose this respiratory modulation have not been conclusively identified. In the present study, we used intracellular recording and dye-filling to identify expiratory neurons in the BΓΆtzinger complex

## Abstract An imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory functions has been shown to contribute to numerous pathological disorders. Accumulating evidence supports the idea that a change in hypothalamic Ξ³βaminobutyic acid (GABA)βergic inhibitory and glutamatergic excitatory synaptic functions contribut
It is well known that striatonigral neurons produce substance P (SP); however, no SP receptor (SPR) has so far been found in the substantia nigra. On the other hand, a previous study in the rat striatum indicated that SPR was expressed only in cholinergic or somatostatinergic intrinsic neurons (Kane
Gonadal steroids exert a powerful regulatory influence upon the functioning of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons despite the apparent absence of gonadal steroid receptors in these cells. By using retrograde-tracing techniques combined with dual-labeling immunocytochemistry, we show here
The aim of the present study was to identify synaptic contacts from axons originating in the superior colliculus with thalamic neurons projecting to the lateral nucleus of the amygdala. Axons from the superior colliculus were traced with the anterograde tracers Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin or
