Localization of injection sites. (A) A diagrammatic representation of a dorsal view of the medulla oblongata of the rabbit showing where bilateral microinjections of antitussive drugs have been performed into the cNTS (▲) and the cVRG (•), respectively. Abbreviations: AP, area postrema; BötC, Bötzinger complex; cVRG, caudal ventral respiratory group; DRG, dorsal respiratory group; iVRG, inspiratory portion of the ventral respiratory group; preBötC, pre-Bötzinger complex. (B) diagram of a coronal section of the medulla oblongata at the levels indicated in panel A (dashed lines) showing the location of representative sites where the microinjections have been performed. NAC, nucleus ambiguous caudalis; NDV, nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi; NOI, nucleus olivaris inferior; NTS, nucleus tractus solitarii; NV, nucleus tractus spinalis nervi trigemini; NXII, nucleus nervi hypoglossi; P, tractus pyramidalis. The atlas of Meessen and Olszewski (1949) and the atlas of Shek et al. (1986) were used for comparison (see also Mutolo et al. 2007).
