Involvement of medullary GABAergic and serotonergic raphe neurons in respiratory control: electrophysiological and immunohistochemical studies in rats.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that RM- or RO-induced inhibitory effects, are transmitted, at least in part, to the PMN via a direct GABAergic descending pathway, while the RP- orRO-induced facilitatory effects in rats however, are transmit via a serotonergic descending pathways.

The possible role of collateral sprouting in the functional restitution of corticospinal connections after spinal hemisection
TL;DR: The results suggest that corticospinal connections to lumbosacral motoneurons are newly formed on the side of spinal cord hemisection, and this synapse formation may be due to collateral sprouting of intact cortICospinal fibers, and it may underlie the mechanisms of motor recovery.

Effects of electrical stimulation of the medullary raphe nuclei on respiratory movement in rats
TL;DR: The present results demonstrate that in rats the caudal raphe nuclei are involved in respiratory control and confirm and extend previous studies concerning the effects of raphe stimulation on respiratory activity in cats.
Localization of the spinal accessory motoneurons in the cervical cord in connection with the phrenic nucleus: an HRP study in cats.
TL;DR: The present study revealed that, in the C5 and C6 segments, the SAMNs have a very similar topographic localization to the phrenic nucleus in the ventral horn, implicated the functional linkage of theSAMNs with the phRenic motoneurons in particular types of respiration.

Axonal projections from the pontine pneumotaxic region to the nucleus raphe magnus in cats.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that predominantly non-respiratory and a portion of respiratory neurons in the rostral pons, especially in the NPBM-KF complex, send a monosynaptic axonal projection to the NRM.
