Glutamate tone in preBötzinger complex rhythmogenesis: ambient extracellular glutamate as a candidate excitability bias

The preBötzinger complex (preBötC) is essential for inspiratory rhythm generation, yet the biological processes that repeatedly establish the excitability state required for neuronal recruitment remain incompletely understood. This unresolved issue is reflected in computational m...

Predominant NR1-positive puncta with limited PSD95 colocalization and close GluA2–EAAT2 apposition in the preBötzinger complex

Abstract The preBötzinger complex (preBötC) is a medullary network that generates the inspiratory phase of respiratory rhythm in mammals and depends critically on glutamatergic transmission. To characterize the anatomical organization of excitatory signaling elements within this...
