Neuron
. 2020 Oct;
108(6):1075-1090.e6.
PMID: 33080229
Optogenetics has revolutionized neuroscience in small laboratory animals, but its effect on animal models more closely related to humans, such as non-human primates (NHPs), has been mixed. To make evidence-based...

PMID: 32632196
Optogenetics offers unprecedented possibilities to investigate cortical networks. Yet, the number of successful optogenetic applications in non-human primates is still low, and the consequences of opsin expression in the primate...

Respir Physiol Neurobiol
. 2018 Nov;
265:141-152.
PMID: 30395936
Glycine is a primary inhibitory transmitter in the ventral medullary respiratory network, but the functional role of glycinergic neurons for breathing remains a matter of debate. We applied optogenetics to...

Hulsmann S, Oke Y, Mesuret G, Latal A, Fortuna M, Niebert M, et al.
J Physiol
. 2018 Oct;
597(1):173-191.
PMID: 30296333
Key Points: Newborn mice produce ultrasonic vocalization to communicate with their mother. The neuronal glycine transporter (GlyT2) is required for efficient loading of synaptic vesicles in glycinergic neurons. Mice lacking...

. 2015 Nov;
5:e11290.
PMID: 26609811
The ability of the adult brain to undergo plastic changes is of particular interest in medicine, especially regarding recovery from injuries or improving learning and cognition. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have...

J Neurosci
. 2010 Jul;
30(27):9324-34.
PMID: 20610767
At surgical depths of anesthesia, inhalational anesthetics cause a loss of motor response to painful stimuli (i.e., immobilization) that is characterized by profound inhibition of spinal motor circuits. Yet, although...

J Appl Physiol (1985)
. 2010 Jan;
108(4):995-1002.
PMID: 20075262
In this review, we examine why blood pressure (BP) and sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) increase during a rise in central nervous system (CNS) P(CO(2)) (central chemoreceptor stimulation). CNS acidification modifies...

J Physiol
. 2009 Sep;
587(Pt 21):5121-38.
PMID: 19752119
The retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) contains chemically defined neurons (ccRTN neurons) that provide a pH-regulated excitatory drive to the central respiratory pattern generator. Here we test whether ccRTN neurons respond to...

Respir Physiol Neurobiol
. 2009 Aug;
168(1-2):59-68.
PMID: 19712903
Breathing automaticity and CO(2) regulation are inseparable neural processes. The retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), a group of glutamatergic neurons that express the transcription factor Phox2b, may be a crucial nodal point...

PMID: 19420248
The retrotrapezoid "nucleus" (RTN), located in the rostral ventrolateral medullary reticular formation, contains a bilateral cluster of approximately 1000 glutamatergic noncatecholaminergic Phox2b-expressing propriobulbar neurons that are activated by CO(2) in...
