Abstract:
In the article the inhibitory effects on respiratory parameters during electrical or chemical stimulation of the magnus raphe nucleus are induced mainly by the participation of GABA. To elucidate the involvement of GABA$_{\rm A}$ receptors in the modulation of respiratory responses, we investigated the effect of local microinjection of a specific GABA$_{\rm A}$ antagonist gabazin into the magnus raphe nucleus. The obtained data confirm the involvement of GABA$_{\rm A}$ receptors in modulation of respiratory responses to electrical stimulation of magnus raphe nucleus.
