摘要

Synaptic activities of the periaqueductal gray (PAG) can modulate or appropriate the respiratory motor activities in the context of behavior and emotion via descending projections to nucleus retroambiguus. However, alternative anatomical pathways for the mediation of PAG-evoked respiratory modulation via core nuclei of the brainstem respiratory network remains only partially described. We injected the retrograde tracer Cholera toxin subunit B (CT-B) in the pontine Kolliker-Fuse nucleus (KFn, n = 5), medullary Botzinger (BbtC, n = 3) and pre-Botzinger complexes (pre-BotC; n = 3), and the caudal raphe nuclei (n = 3), and quantified the descending connectivity of the PAG targeting these brainstem respiratory regions. CT-B injections in the KFn, pre-BotC, and caudal raphe, but not in the BotC, resulted in CT-B-labeled neurons that were predominantly located in the lateral and ventrolateral PAG columns. In turn, CT-B injections in the lateral and ventrolateral PAG columns (n = 4) produced the highest numbers of CT-B-labeled neurons in the KFn and far fewer numbers of labeled neurons in the pre-BotC, BotC, and caudal raphe. Analysis of the relative projection strength revealed that the KFn shares the densest reciprocal connectivity with the PAG (ventrolateral and lateral columns, in particular). Overall, our data imply that the PAG may engage a distributed respiratory rhythm and pattern generating network beyond the nucleus retroambiguus to mediate downstream modulation of breathing. However, the reciprocal connectivity of the KFn and PAG suggests specific roles for synaptic interaction between these two nuclei that are most likely related to the regulation of upper airway patency during vocalization or other volitional orofacial behaviors.
