摘要
In this introductory article we make use of the work reviewed in detail by a number of contributors to this Special Issue (Respir. Physiol., 2001) to provide an outline of current approaches to identifying brainstem CO2/pH-chemosensitive neurones. The section headings which we have adopted are intended to reflect particular issues rather than experimental techniques, though some of these issues arise out of the choice of preparation and the advantages and limitations which follow from such a choice. We have also considered whether, in spite of the diversity in the kinds of neurones usually considered to be chemosensitive, there are any indications for shared or uniform features. Again, this is based on the material published together in this volume. Finally, and more speculatively, we suggest that the dendritic organization of chemosensitive neurones may play an important role in chemoreception. not simply as a means of sampling the stimulus but also as a way of compartmentalizing the effects of pH in relation to other aspects of a neurone's activity.
