In newborn mammals including man the respiratory pattern undergoes changes during the neonatal period10, 11, 26, 27, 36.These developmental changes are characterized by an increase in the duration of inspiratory time (TI), which in species born after relatively short gestations such as opossum10and mouse27can be quite marked. In addition to developmental differences in metabolism, pulmonary mechanics and stimulatory input from the periphery the intrinsic membrane properties of inspiratory neurons may contribute to this lengthening of TI. Spike frequency adaptation and afterhyperpolarization is present as early as postnatal day 1 (P1) in rat hypoglossal motoneurons35and PO in mouse inspiratory neurons located in the pre-Bötzinger complex (PBC)28. Entry of calcium through high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium channels has been shown to be essential for the generation of the AHP in PBC neurons9, ventral nucleus of the solitary tract29and hypoglossal motoneurons32, 33by activating slow-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels29,34. Therefore, the inhibiting modulation of HVA calcium channels during development is a potential mechanism by which TI could be prolonged. α2aadrenergic receptors which are coupled by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins to various effectors, including inhibition of voltage activated Ca2+channels20, and have been demonstrated in cardiorespiratory areas of the medulla1, 31are candidates for this role. In order to evaluate their importance respiratory timing in the postnatal period was examined in mice who functionally lack α2aadrenergic receptors.
