Breathing Rhythm Generation: Focus on the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla

J Duffin, K Ezure and J Lipski

Current knowledge about the generation of breathing rhythm is reviewed. The respiratory neurophysiology of the medulla and particularly its rostral ventrolateral part as well as the major hypotheses of breathing rhythm generation are discussed. A model incorporating recent concepts is presented.
