The role of GABAergic inhibition in the regulation of activity of the parafacial respiratory group was studied on narcotized mature rats. Microinjections of GABAA agonist muscimol into the parafacial respiratory group inhibited external respiration and bioelectrical activity of the diaphragmatic muscle resulting in diminished tidal volume and decreased respiration rate accompanied by prolonged inspiration, expiration, and intervals between the inspiratory bursts in the phrenic electromyogram. In contrast, microinjections of GABAA antagonist bicuculline into this group stimulated respiration and markedly increased its volumetric parameters. In addition, blockade of GABAA receptors affected the expiratory phase and interburst intervals in the phrenic electromyogram, but produced no effect on respiration rate. These findings attested to contribution of GABAA-mediated inhibition into the performance of parafacial respiratory group. The study revealed different roles of GABAA receptors in modulation of the mechanisms of respiration rate control in mature rats and formation of inspiratory motor outputs originating from the parafacial respiratory group.
