title: [Neuroanatomical and functional organization of the pre-Bötzinger complex in the cat].
abstract: The technique of horseradish peroxidase retrograde axonal transport and local electrical stimulation of the pre-Botzinger complex was used to study the connections between neurones of the bulbar respiratory nucleus and descending pathways from bulbar nuclei in the cat spinal cord. A possible role of the nuclei under study for rhythmogenesis of breathing and respiratory control, is discussed.
