Activation of the periaqueductal gray controls respiratory output through a distributed brain network by Mitchell Prostebby, Jashan Saini, Vivian Biancardi, Vivian Biancardi, Vivian Biancardi, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Silvia Pagliardini, Silvia Pagliardini, Silvia Pagliardini

“…We then stimulated PAG terminals in those regions to determine whether their activity can account for the observed effects of PAG stimulation.ResultsDirectly stimulating the PAG resulted in prominent changes to all recorded muscle activities and reset the breathing rhythm in either a phase-independent or phase-dependent manner. In contrast, stimulating PAG terminals in either preBötC or pFL with long or shorter timescale stimuli could not completely replicate the effects of direct PAG stimulation and also did not produce any respiratory reset.ConclusionsOur results show that the effects of PAG activity on respiration are not mediated solely by PAG inputs to either the preBötC or pFL and more likely involve integration across a larger network of brainstem areas.…”
