Acute inhibition of A6 neurons and effect on the baseline ventilatory, inspiratory and expiratory parameters of conscious adult rats. (A) Raw and integrated (∫) records of DiaEMG and AbdEMG activities and barometric respiratory movements, as well as fR, VT and Vdata from one rat, in which the LC was transduced with PRSx8-AlstR-GFP-LVV before and after Alst application into the lateral ventricle. Note the absence of changes in baseline inspiratory and expiratory activities, in the ventilatory parameters, as well as in the number of sighs (red lines) after acute inhibition of A6 neurons. Summary of data showing the changes in the fR (B), VT (C), VE (D) and in the number of sighs (E) after application of Alst.
