The retrotrapezoid nucleus stimulates breathing by releasing glutamate in adult conscious mice

The retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) is a bilateral cluster of neurons located at the ventral surface of the brainstem below the facial nucleus. RTN is activated by hypercapnia and stabilizes arterial PCO(2) by adjusting lung ventilation in a feedback manner. RTN neurons contain Vglut2 transcripts (vesi...
