Functional mapping of the cardiorespiratory effects of dorsal and median raphe nuclei in the rat

Functional mapping of the cardiorespiratory effects of dorsal and median raphe nuclei in the rat

The dorsal (DRN) and median (MRN) raphe nuclei are important sources of serotonergic innervation to the forebrain, projecting to sites involved in cardiovascular regulation. These nuclei have been mapped using electrical stimulation, which has the limitation of stimulating fibers of passage. The pre...
