This study addresses the hypothesis that multiple afferent systems share elements of a distributed brain stem network that modulates the respiratory motor pattern. Data were collected from 18 decerebrate, bilaterally vagotomized, paralyzed, artificially ventilated cats. Up to 28 neurons distributed in the rostral and caudal ventral respiratory group, nucleus tractus solitarius, and raphe obscurus were recorded simultaneously with microelectrode arrays. Phases of the respiratory cycle and inspiratory drive were assessed from integrated efferent phrenic nerve activity. Carotid chemoreceptors were stimulated by injection of CO2-saturated saline solution via the external carotid artery. Baroreceptors were stimulated by increased blood pressure secondary to inflation of an embolectomy catheter in the descending aorta. Cutaneous nociceptors were stimulated by pinching a footpad. Four hundred seventy-four neurons were tested for respiratory modulated firing rates and responses; 403 neurons were tested with stimulation of all 3 modalities. Chemoreceptor stimulation and pinch, perturbations that tend to increase respiratory drive, caused similar responses in 52 neurons; 28 responded oppositely. Chemoreceptor and baroreceptor stimulation resulted in similar primary responses in 45 neurons; 48 responded oppositely. Similar responses to baroreceptor stimulation and pinch were recorded for 38 neurons; opposite effects were measured in 26 neurons. Among simultaneously recorded neurons, distinct combinations of firing rate changes were evoked in response to stimulation of the different modalities. The results show a functional convergence of information from carotid chemoreceptors, baroreceptors, and cutaneous nociceptors on respiratory-modulated neurons distributed in the medulla. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that brain stem neurons have overlapping memberships in multifunctional groups that influence the respiratory motor pattern.
