Abstract
⺠Cough-inducible sites were concentrated in the ventrolateral region of the NTS. ⺠Membrane potentials of the cough-related neurons were recorded from the NTS. ⺠The first group of neurons may relay the tussigenic afferent signals. ⺠The second group of neurons may play a gating role for generation of cough reflex. ⺠Other neurons may constitute the network of cough generation or modulatory circuit.
