Subconscious breathing is generated by a network of brainstem nodes with varying purposes, like pacing or patterning certain breath phase. Decades anatomy, pharmacology, and physiology studies have identified characterized the system's fundamental properties that produce robust breathing, we now well-conceived computational models are based on detailed descriptions neuronal connectivity, biophysical properties, functions in breathing. In total, considerable understanding control circuit. But, last five years, utilization molecular genetic approaches to study neural subtypes within each node has led new era circuit research explains how integrated more complex behaviors speaking running connected other physiological systems our state-of-mind. This review will describe basic role key components then highlight transformative discoveries broaden these brain areas. These serve illustrate creativity exciting future research.
