(A) Effect of Alst application to left preBötC (unilateral, first red arrow and dashed line) then right preBötC (bilateral, second red arrow and dashed line). (B) Expanded traces from A, indicated by shaded epochs (i–ii): (Bi) Activity at rest. (Bii) Activity following bilateral Alst injection. (C) Comparison between ventilation in rats at rest (Rst) and following Alst. Lines connect data from individual experiments, box and whisker plots show combined data. Data are normalized to highest parameter, i.e., f, TI, TE, VT, ∫GGEMG, ∫DiaEMG, or ∫AbdEMG, value regardless of whether it belonged to control or Alst group. Abbreviations defined in Figure 2.
