Effects of spike sorting error on the Granger causality index
2013, Neural NetworksCitation Excerpt :However, our suggestions still are useful in some cases when recordings are made in the brain regions that neurons are known with complementary intermittence discharge. For example, since the inspiratory-related and expiratory-related neurons coexist in the dorsal and ventral respiratory group (Takeda & Matsumoto, 1997), and the firing of these two types of neurons are complementary intermittence, so successive missing or concentrative adding of spikes after sorting may occur. We should examine the time series of spike trains to ensure if the patterns of complementary intermittence are confused after sorting, and to infer which modification would be made when GCIs are calculated.
Identification of different types of respiratory neurones in the dorsal brainstem nucleus tractus solitarius of the rat
2007, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Our experimental protocol did not include the lung inflation/deflation tests, and hence such sub-classification is not being presented. The only expiratory cells found in the rat NTS in our study were the neurones that fired throughout the expiratory phase as compared to the augmenting and decrementing expiratory cells found by Takeda and Matsumuto (1997). The expiratory cells were few in number and were found in the rostral parts of vlNTS.
Specific subnuclei of the nucleus tractus solitarius play a role in determining the duration of inspiration in the rat
2000, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :In these studies we found that microinjection of NMDA receptor antagonists into the vlNTS produced an increase in inspiratory duration and an apneustic breathing pattern. Since numerous investigators have reported the existence of respiratory-related neurons in the vlNTS and adjacent interstitial subnucleus of the tractus solitarius (iNTS) of the rat [6,9,26,28,29,38,41,42], we set out to test the hypothesis that these neurons in the rat can function as inspiratory off-switch neurons. Experiments were performed on 40 adult male Sprague–Dawley rats (Taconic, Germantown, NY) weighing 260–410 g. Anesthesia was instituted with a 3-ml/kg i.p. injection of a cocktail containing urethane (800 mg) and α-chloralose (60 mg) dissolved in 3 ml of 0.9% saline.
