Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). The main motor symptoms are tremor at rest, bradykinesia, classic rigidity and postural instability. However, we can observe non-motor symptoms as neuropsychiatric, sleep and breathing disorders. Neuroanatomical studies show that the number of Phox2b neurons in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) was reduced in the animal model of PD induced by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the caudate putamen (CPu) (Tuppy, et al., 2015). In this same model, it was observed that the ventilatory response to hypercapnia was impaired 40 and 50 days after PD induction. However, this response was restored 60 days after PD induction (Tuppy, et al., 2015). These data suggest that any region in place of RTN could assume the function of central chemoreceptor in central nervous system (CNS). The aim of this work is to study if those functional changes observed in this PD model also depend on the aminergic and orexinergic mechanisms, since these systems are also involved in central chemoreception. In that way, we will investigate if the respiratory responses observed in this PD animal model depend on the noradrenergic, serotoninergic and orexinergic neurons integrity by whole body pletismograph and neuroanatomical studies.
