Exposure of anesthetized paralyzed vagotomized peripherally chemodenervated cats to hypoxia results in initial depression and subsequent loss of the phrenic neurogram. To determine whether hypoxic respiratory depression results from the inhibition of respiratory premotor neurons by bulbospinal neurons of the Botzinger complex (Bot-E neurons), extracellular recordings were made of dorsal and ventral respiratory group bulbospinal inspiratory neurons and Bot-E neurons during acute hypoxic hypoxia. All neurons recorded decreased firing rate during hypoxia. Bot-E neurons became silent before the loss of phasic phrenic activity during hypoxia and commenced firing before or coincident with the return of the phrenic neurogram during reoxygenation. Inspiratory neurons ceased firing coincident with phrenic silence. Dorsal respiratory group and ventral respiratory group neurons that had a late onset of firing with respect to the phrenic neurogram during normoxia fired progressively earlier in inspiration during hypoxia, an effect that was reversed during reoxygenation. These data are consistent with inhibition and/or disfacilitation as the mechanism of hypoxic respiratory depression but suggest that Bot-E neurons are not the source of this inhibition.
