DREADDSs demonstrate glutamatergic class of neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord, the V2a class, drives increased respiratory activity

 Using a chemogenetic approach, we demonstrate that a glutamatergic class of neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord, the V2a class, is sufficient to drive increased ARM activity at rest in healthy mice.

How to find all publications related to DREADD technology

Simply go to Google Scholar and type in the following: "designer receptors exclusively" OR DREADD OR hM3D OR hM4D
