A latent serotonin-1A receptor-gated spinal afferent pathway inhibiting breathing

Spinal afferents such as nociceptive afferents and group III–IV muscle afferents are known to exert an acute excitatory effect on breathing when activated. Here, we report the surprising existence of latent spinal afferents which exerted tonic inhibitory influence on breathing subliminally in anesth...
