    Abstract We assessed the mechanism of mammalian breathing rhythmogenesis in the preBötzinger complex (preBötC) in vitro, where experimental tests remain inconsistent with hypotheses of canonical rhythmogenic cellular or synaptic mechanisms, i.e., pacemaker neurons or inhibition. Under rhythmic conditions, in each cycle, an inspiratory burst emerges as (presumptive) preBötC rhythmogenic neurons transition from aperiodic uncorrelated population spike activity to become increasingly synchronized during preinspiration (for ∼50-500 ms), which can trigger inspiratory bursts that propagate to motoneurons. In nonrhythmic conditions, antagonizing GABA

    Abstract In this viewpoint, we present an argument for transdisciplinary "precision medicine" approaches that combine studies of basic neurobiology of breathing in animal and human models of stress that can help characterize physiological and neural biomarkers and mechanisms of breathing control and emotion regulation in humans. Such mechanistic research is fundamental for the development of more effective and mechanism-based mind-body therapies. The potential for this research to positively impact public health is high, as breathing techniques are inexpensive, accessible, and cross-culturally accepted, with fewer complications then observed with other standard therapies for stress-related disorders.

    Abstract Breathing is a vital rhythmic motor behavior with a surprisingly broad influence on the brain and body. The apparent simplicity of breathing belies a complex neural control system, the breathing central pattern generator (bCPG), that exhibits diverse operational modes to regulate gas exchange and coordinate breathing with an array of behaviors. In this review, we focus on selected advances in our understanding of the bCPG. At the core of the bCPG is the preBötzinger complex (preBötC), which drives inspiratory rhythm via an unexpectedly sophisticated emergent mechanism. Synchronization dynamics underlying preBötC rhythmogenesis imbue the system with robustness and lability. These dynamics are modulated by inputs from throughout the brain and generate rhythmic, patterned activity that is widely distributed. The connectivity and an emerging literature support a link between breathing, emotion, and cognition that is becoming experimentally tractable. These advances bring great potential for elucidating function and dysfunction in breathing and other mammalian neural circuits.

    Abstract The preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) encodes inspiratory time as rhythmic bursts of activity underlying each breath. Spike synchronization throughout a sparsely connected preBötC microcircuit initiates bursts that ultimately drive the inspiratory motor patterns. Using minimal microcircuit models to explore burst initiation dynamics, we examined the variability in probability and latency to burst following exogenous stimulation of a small subset of neurons, mimicking experiments. Among various physiologically plausible graphs of 1000 excitatory neurons constructed using experimentally determined synaptic and connectivity parameters, directed Erdős-Rényi graphs with a broad (lognormal) distribution of synaptic weights best captured the experimentally observed dynamics. preBötC synchronization leading to bursts was regulated by the efferent connectivity of spiking neurons that are optimally tuned to amplify modest preinspiratory activity through input convergence. Using graph-theoretic and machine learning-based analyses, we found that input convergence of efferent connectivity at the next-nearest neighbor order was a strong predictor of incipient synchronization. Our analyses revealed a crucial role of synaptic heterogeneity in imparting exceptionally robust yet flexible preBötC attractor dynamics. Given the pervasiveness of lognormally distributed synaptic strengths throughout the nervous system, we postulate that these mechanisms represent a ubiquitous template for temporal processing and decision-making computational motifs.

    Abstract As neuronal subtypes are increasingly categorized, delineating their functional role is paramount. The preBötzinger complex (preBötC) subpopulation expressing the neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) is classified as mostly excitatory, inspiratory-modulated and not rhythmogenic. We further characterized their phenotypic identity: 87% were glutamatergic and the balance were glycinergic and/or GABAergic. We then used optogenetics to investigate their modulatory role in both anaesthetized and freely moving mice. In anaesthetized mice, short photostimulation (100 ms) of preBötC SST

    Abstract The use of octreotide in managing intrathoracic chyle leak following esophagectomy has gained popularity in the adult population. While the benefits of octreotide have been confirmed in the pediatric population, there remains limited evidence to support its use in the adults post-esophagectomy. Thus, we performed a single-institution cohort study to characterize its efficacy. The study was performed using a prospective, single-center database, from which clinicopathologic characteristics were extracted of patients who had post-esophagectomy chyle leaks. Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the effect of octreotide use on chest tube duration (CTD), hospital length of stay (LOS), and overall survival (OS). In our cohort, 74 patients met inclusion criteria, among whom 27 (36.5%) received octreotide. Kaplan-Meier revealed no significant effect of octreotide on CTD (P = 0.890), LOS (P = 0.740), or OS (P = 0.570). Multivariable Cox regression analyses further corroborated that octreotide had no effect on CTD (HR = 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-1.20, P = 0.155), LOS (HR = 0.64, CI: 0.34-1.21, P = 0.168), or OS (1.08, CI: 0.53-2.19, P = 0.833). Octreotide use in adult patients with chyle leak following esophagectomy lacks evidence of association with meaningful clinical outcomes. Level 1 evidence is needed prior to further consideration in this population.

    Abstract The preBötzinger Complex (preBötC), a compact medullary region essential for generating normal breathing rhythm and pattern, is the kernel of the breathing central pattern generator (CPG). Excitatory preBötC neurons in rats project to major breathing-related brainstem regions. Here, we provide a brainstem connectivity map in mice for both excitatory and inhibitory preBötC neurons. Using a genetic strategy to label preBötC neurons, we confirmed extensive projections of preBötC excitatory neurons within the brainstem breathing CPG including the contralateral preBötC, Bötzinger Complex (BötC), ventral respiratory group, nucleus of the solitary tract, parahypoglossal nucleus, parafacial region (RTN/pFRG or alternatively, pF

    Abstract We performed a cross-sectional study to determine associations between cognition and MRI-derived brain outcomes, with obesity, diabetes duration, and metabolic risk factors in 51 Pima American Indians with longstanding type 2 diabetes (T2d) (mean [SD] age: 48.4 [11.3] years, T2d duration: 20.1 [9.1] years). Participants had similar cognition (NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery composite: 45.3 [9.8], p = 0.64, n = 51) compared to normative data. T2d duration, but not other metabolic risk factors, associated with decreased cortical thickness (Point Estimate (PE): -0.0061, 95%CI: -0.0113, -0.0009, n = 45), gray matter volume (PE: -830.39, 95%CI: -1503.14, -157.64, n = 45), and increased white matter hyperintensity volume (PE: 0.0389, 95%CI: 0.0049, 0.0729, n = 45).

    Abstract The key driver of breathing rhythm is the preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) whose activity is modulated by various functional inputs, e.g., volitional, physiological, and emotional. While the preBötC is highly interconnected with other regions of the breathing central pattern generator (bCPG) in the brainstem, there is no data about the direct projections to either excitatory and inhibitory preBötC subpopulations from other elements of the bCPG or from suprapontine regions. Using modified rabies tracing, we identified neurons throughout the brain that send monosynaptic projections to identified excitatory and inhibitory preBötC neurons in mice. Within the brainstem, neurons from sites in the bCPG, including the contralateral preBötC, Bötzinger Complex, the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), parafacial region (pF
