Pre-Bötzinger complex: a brainstem region that may generate respiratory rhythm in mammals

JC Smith, HH Ellenberger, K Ballanyi, DW Richter… - Science, 1991 - science.org
The location of neurons generating the rhythm of breathing in mammals is unknown. By
microsection of the neonatal rat brainstem in vitro, a limited region of the ventral medulla (the pre-…

Kepler presearch data conditioning II-a Bayesian approach to systematic error correction

JC Smith, MC Stumpe, JE Van Cleve… - Publications of the …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
With the unprecedented photometric precision of the Kepler spacecraft, significant systematic
and stochastic errors on transit signal levels are observable in the Kepler photometric data. …

Neuronal pacemaker for breathing visualized in vitro

N Koshiya, JC Smith - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
Breathing movements in mammals arise from a rhythmic pattern of neural activity, thought to
originate in the pre-Bötzinger complex 1 in the lower brainstem. The mechanisms …

Planet occurrence within 0.25 AU of solar-type stars from Kepler

…, A Boss, E Devore, A Gould, JC Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar
effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars. …

Planetary candidates observed by Kepler. III. Analysis of the first 16 months of data

…, D Sasselov, SE Seader, JC Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May–2010 September) of
data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted against …

In vitro brainstem-spinal cord preparations for study of motor systems for mammalian respiration and locomotion

JC Smith, JL Feldman - Journal of neuroscience methods, 1987 - Elsevier
Recently developed in vitro preparations of the brainstem-spinal cord from neonatal rat suitable
for investigation of motor control systems for mammalian locomotion and respiration are …

Kepler presearch data conditioning I—Architecture and algorithms for error correction in Kepler light curves

MC Stumpe, JC Smith, JE Van Cleve… - Publications of the …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Kepler provides light curves of 156,000 stars with unprecedented precision. However, the raw
data as they come from the spacecraft contain significant systematic and stochastic errors. …

Architecture of Kepler's multi-transiting systems. II. New investigations with twice as many candidates

…, RL Morris, A Shporer, JC Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on the orbital architectures of Kepler systems having multiple-planet candidates
identified in the analysis of data from the first six quarters of Kepler data and reported by …

Spatial and functional architecture of the mammalian brain stem respiratory network: a hierarchy of three oscillatory mechanisms

JC Smith, APL Abdala, H Koizumi… - Journal of …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Mammalian central pattern generators (CPGs) producing rhythmic movements exhibit
extremely robust and flexible behavior. Network architectures that enable these features are not …

Generation and transmission of respiratory oscillations in medullary slices: role of excitatory amino acids

GD Funk, JC Smith, JL Feldman - Journal of …, 1993 - journals.physiology.org
1. The involvement of excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors in the generation of respiratory
rhythm and transmission of inspiratory drive to hypoglossal (XII) motoneurons was examined …
