| Research Abstract |
We studied the medullary swallowing-related cells electrophysiologically and neuroanatomically in the anesthetized or decerebrated guinea pigs to analyze neuronal network involved in the swallowing pattern generation. Medullary swallowing-related neurons rather distributed diffusely from the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) to the nucleus ambiguus (NA) and adjacent reticular formation (RF). Axons of those cells, which were labelled juxtacellularly, projected to ipsilateral NTS cells and motoneurons of the NA, and contralateral RF cells.
Besides non-respiratory swallowing-related neurons, some respiratory neurons in the medulla seemed to be shared among the neuronal circuits underlying the generation of breathing and non-respiratory behaviors including swallowing and coughing.
