Li A, Nattie E (2006) Catecholamine neurones in rats modulate sleep, breathing, central chemoreception and breathing variability. J Physiol 570(Pt 2):385-396. doi: 10.1113/jphysiol.2005.099325
Summary: Brainstem catecholamine (CA) neurons are thought to modulate the processing of sensory information and participate in the control of breathing. Using a 5 µg injection of anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03), or a control injection of mouse-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-18) into the fourth ventricle, the authors investigated breathing frequency and wakefulness. The results suggest that CA neurons promote wakefulness, participate in central respiratory chemoreception, stimulate breathing frequency, and minimize breathing variability during REM sleep.
