Objective: TASK channels are a new member of the recently recognized TWIK K+channel family.They are sensitive to changes in extracellular pH in the physiological range and are present in several respiratory neuronal groups of brainstem.In the present study,we hypothesize that TASK-1 and TASK-3 are expressed in hypoglossal motoneurons(HMs)of medulla.
