Figure 3. Rhythmic ATP release in the NTS does not depend upon central respiratory drive.

Figure 3

Representative raw data showing recordings of the phrenic nerve activity, tracheal pressure and difference in current between ATP and null sensors in basal conditions and during mechanical hyperventilation resulting in central apnoea (arterial PCO2 and end-tidal CO2 below apnoeic threshold). IPNA, integrated phrenic nerve activity (arbitrary units).
