Figure 9

Intrinsic properties of NK1R+ preBötC neurons. Inspiratory drive latency is plotted versus whole-cell capacitance (CM) in the lower graph. Histogram (top) shows the frequency of NK1R+ neurons with CM separated into 10-pF bins. Note that small (i.e., low CM) NK1R+ neurons predominate in the preBötC. A fast sweep of a typical inspiratory burst is shown at right with a diagram of characteristic measures (inspiratory drive latency and drive amplitude). Depolarization block of intraburst spike frequency is also indicated, which may have functional significance (see Fig. 16).
