Amygdalofugal modulation of Hering-Breuer inspiration-inhibiting reflex.
Acute experiments on rats showed that the central nucleus of the amygdaloid complex modulates realization of the Hering-Breuer inspiration-inhibiting reflex. It is hypothesized that amygdalobulbar interrelations are realized via modulation of respiratory reflexes by the amygdala. This interaction is mediated by the GABAergic system of the amygdala.
