Table 1.

Estimated numbers of preBötC neurons in various categories

Neurons Estimated
Recorded
# Total % Total # % of GlyT2 # % GlyT2 inspiratory # % Ectopic bursters
PreBötC 3000 100
NK1R+ 300 10
GlyT2+ 600 20 115 100
GlyT2+ noninspiratory 348 12 67 58
GlyT2+ inspiratory 252 8 48 42 48 100
GlyT2+ inspiratory ectopic burster 93 3 18 37 18 100
GlyT2+ inspiratory ectopic burster pacemaker 57 2 11 61

PreBötC, NK1R+, and GlyT2+ were estimated from histological counts. Other estimated numbers/percentages were extrapolated from recordings of neurons of various types.
