Features and mechanisms of realization the respiratory influences of the extrapyramydal system structures

In the publication the modern condition of the problem of suprabulbar regulation of breathing is analysed. The review on structure, neurochemistry and anatomic connections of the red nucleus and substantia nigra with the medullary respiratory center is submitted. The data on the respiratory effects of GABA and apomorphine microinjected into the red nucleus and substantia nigra as well as effects of their electrostimulation after the blockade of GABA and dopamine receptors in the respiratory center are discussed. The conceptual scheme of the mechanisms of realization the respiratory influences of the extrapyramydal system is offered.
