Involvement of Serotonergic Neurons in the Ventilatory Response to Hypercapnia in Birds (Chicken, Gallus gallus )

Abstract only Respiratory system regulates acid‐base balance by eliminating carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), with PCO 2 /pH variations detected mainly by central chemoreceptors. In mammals, serotonergic neurons (5‐HT) have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the ventilatory response to CO 2 . It is k...
