Molecular underpinnings of ventral surface chemoreceptor function: focus on KCNQ channels

Central chemoreception is the mechanism by which CO2/H+‐sensitive neurons (i.e. chemoreceptors) regulate breathing in response to changes in tissue CO2/H+. Neurons in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) directly regulate breathing in response to changes in tissue CO2/H+ and function as a key locus of r...
