C1 neurons are part of the circuitry that recruits active expiration in response to the activation of peripheral chemoreceptors

Breathing results from the interaction of two distinct oscillators: the pre-Bötzinger Complex (preBötC), which drives inspiration; and the lateral parafacial region (pFRG), which drives active expiration.
