  • Title: Ultrastructural evidence for serotonin-immunoreactive terminals contacting phrenic motoneurons in the cat.
    Author: Holtman JR, Vascik DS, Maley BE.
    Journal: Exp Neurol; 1990 Sep; 109(3):269-72. PubMed ID: 2209771.
    Abstract:
    The innervation of the phrenic motor nucleus in the cat by serotonin-containing neurons has been studied using retrograde tracing combined with immunohistochemistry at the electron microscope level. It was found that phrenic motoneuron cell bodies and dendrites are contacted by serotonin-immunoreactive synaptic terminals. This finding suggests that the activity of phrenic motoneurons is directly affected by serotonergic neurons.
