[Neuronal organization of the inspiratory center (Baumgarten's nucleus)].
The inspiratory center or the Baumgarten's nucleus consists of large multipolar neurons and small reticular cells of the associative field. This nucleus is divided into a number of less populations with more close anatomical connections. In its turn each such population consists of groups of nerve cells characterized by the presence of large central (one or two) neurons surrounded by small reticular cells. Basing on available microelectrode studies and the personal investigations, the author puts forward a supposition that the group under study (the respiron) as the main part of the population represents the least structural unit on which the integrative activity of the inspiratory center is based.
