Tachykinergic signaling mediated by NK1 receptors in the respiratory parafacial region drives respiratory output and contributes to the chemoreflex response to CO2
{{output}}
The respiratory parafacial region (pFRG) contributes critically to central chemoreception, CO2/H+ homeostasis and the regulation of all major components of the respiratory rhythm. The respiratory rhythm is also modulated by the neuropeptide substance P which ... ...
