To test the hypothesis that serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT)-receptor activation elicits age-dependent changes in respiratory motor output, we compared the effects of 5-HT bath application (5-HT concentration = 0.5-25 muM) onto in vitro brain stem preparations from pre- and postmetamorphic bullfrog tadpoles. Recording of motor output related to gill and lung ventilation showed that 5-HT elicits a dose-dependent depression of gill burst frequency in both groups. In contrast, the lung burst frequency response was stage dependent; an increase in lung burst frequency at low 5-HT concentration (less than or equal to0.5 muM) was observed only in the postmetamorphic group. Higher 5-HT concentrations decreased lung burst frequency in all preparations. Gill burst frequency attenuation is mediated (at least in part) by 5-HT1A-receptor activation in an age-dependent fashion. We conclude that serotonergic modulation of respiratory motor output 1) changes during tadpole development and 2) is distinct for gill and lung ventilation.
