Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated relationships between inspiratory neuron types and activation sequence during rhythmic bursts in the pre-Botzinger complex (preBotC). In earlier phase during each rhythmic burst, any one of inspiratory neurons of which activation patterns showed small maximum cross-correlation coefficient (maxCC) with bursting pattern were activated. On the other hand, inspiratory neurons with large maxCC were activated at/after middle phase. There was no significant differences between activation timings of excitatory and inhibitory inspiratory neurons.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
呼吸活動をはじめとする生命活動に必須な運動に関する神経ネットワークには、頑強性が要求される。本研究の成果は、呼吸中枢がもつ柔軟なネットワークダイナミクスの意義に迫る結果であり、機能的な神経ネットワークの新たなパラダイムを提供しており、新しい概念の神経マップの作成等を通じて脊髄損傷の再生医療などに貢献することが期待出来る。
