The cover illustration shows optically identified respiratory-related neuronal areas in the rat ventral medulla. The crescent-shaped parafacial respiratory group (pFRG) and the preBötzinger complex (preBötc)/ventral respiratory group (VRG) constitute a continuous columnar aggregate of respiratory neurons.
