Clarifies E-Dec neuron responses in the Breuer-Hering reflex; leaves open translation to human respiratory control or therapies.
E-Dec neurons in the ventrolateral medulla likely receive paucisynaptic input from pulmonary afferents to inhibit inspiratory neurons and prolong expiration during the Breuer-Hering reflex.
Hayashi et al. (1996) studied this question.
