Moreira TS, Takakura AC, Stornetta RL, Guyenet PG (2008) Selective lesion of retrotrapezoid Phox2b-expressing neurons attenuates the central chemoreflex in rats. Neuroscience 2008 Abstracts 383.3/RR70. Society for Neuroscience, Washington, DC. Summary: Injection of the neurotoxin saporin-substance P (SSP-SAP) into the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) attenuates the central chemoreflex in rats. Here we ask whether these deficits
