Central chemoreceptors are widespread within the brain stem. We hypothesize that function at different sites varies with arousal state. In unanesthetized rats, we produced focal acidification at single sites by means of microdialysis using artificial cerebrospinal fluid equilibrated with 25% CO2. Tissue acidosis, measured under anesthesia, is equivalent to that observed with 63 Torr end-tidal PCO2 and is limited to 600 microm. Focal acidification of the retrotrapezoid nucleus increased ventilation by 24% only in wakefulness via an increase in tidal volume (Li A, Randall M, and Nattie E. J Appl Physiol 87: 910-919, 1999). In this study of the medullary raphe, the effect of such focal acidification was in sleep (defined by electroencephalographic and electromyographic criteria): ventilation and frequency increased by 15-20% in non-rapid eye movement sleep, and frequency increased by 15% in rapid eye movement sleep. There was no effect in wakefulness. Chemoreception in the medullary raphe appears to be responsive in sleep. Central chemoreceptors at two different locations appear to vary in effectiveness with arousal state.
