Abstract
⺠Systemic administration of fentanyl switches the pulmonary C-fibers-mediated rapid shallow breathing (RSB) into an apnea. ⺠Intracisternal injection of opioid receptor antagonists can prevent this fentanyl-induced RSB-apnea switch. ⺠Blocking PBC, but not mNTS, μ-receptors also prevents this fentanyl-induced switch.
