The experiments reported in this thesis were designed to answer three questions about the nature of respiration, 1 - Where are the respiratory neurones? 2 - What mechanism is responsible for their maintained bursts of activity? 3 - What mechanism initiates these bursts periodically? Thus this report is divided into three sections dealing respectively with the localization of respiratory cells, the mechanism of burst activity of respiratory neurones and the mechanism of respiratory rhythmicity.
