Determination of the human brainstem respiratory control network and its cortical connections in vivo using functional and structural imaging.

This study combined functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging techniques, optimized for the human brainstem, to investigate activity in brainstem respiratory control centres in a group of 12 healthy human volunteers. We stimulated respiration with carbon dioxide (CO(2)), and utilized nove...
