Whisking and sniffing are predominant aspects of exploratory behaviour in rodents. Yet the neural mechanisms that generate and coordinate these and other orofacial motor patterns remain largely ...

Miniature (125 or 250 µm in diameter) disk biosensors were then used to map the sites of CO 2-induced ATP production on the ventral surface of the medulla ().We observed that during chemosensory ...

Anterior Spinal Artery Stroke: (Left) T2-weighted axial MRI of the lower medulla; (Middle) T2-weighted axial MRI of the mid-cervical spine; (Right) T2-weighted sagittal MRI of the upper cervical spine ...

Working with mice, the team identified a specific group of neurons as likely candidates. These cells were located in an area of the brain called the ventral medial medulla and received input from ...

"The glycinergic neurons we have identified in the ventral medial medulla could be a good target for drug therapies for people with narcolepsy, cataplexy, or REM sleep behavior disorder", ...
