A single gene target of an ETS-family transcription factor determines neuronal CO2-chemosensitivity.

Many animals possess neurons specialized for the detection of carbon dioxide (CO(2)), which acts as a cue to elicit behavioral responses and is also an internally generated product of respiration that regulates animal physiology.
