Fig 1 Schematic diagram of the newborn rat brainstem-spinal cord preparation ventral surface. Respiratory motoneuron activity corresponding to inspiration was recorded from the C4/C5 ventral root through a glass suction electrode. AICA=anterior inferior cerebellar artery; IX–XII=cranial nerves; and C1–C4=cervical ventral nerves.
