Let's take a close look at the
data behind the averages behind the charts in the books, for example, this study, one

Brainstem abnormalities that involve the medullary serotonergic (5 - hydroxytryptamine [5 - HT]-RRB- system in up to 70 %
of infants who die from SIDS are the most robust and specific neuropathologic findings associated with SIDS and have been confirmed in several independent
data sets and laboratories.37, — , 40 This area
of the brainstem plays a key role in coordinating many respiratory, arousal, and autonomic functions and, when dysfunctional, might prevent normal protective responses to stressors that commonly occur during
sleep.
The most recent study report described in these same regions decreased tissue levels
of 5 - HT and tryptophan hydroxylase, the synthesizing enzyme for serotonin, and no evidence
of excessive serotonin degradation as assessed by levels
of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid (the main metabolite
of serotonin) or ratios
of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid to serotonin.30 A recent article described a significant association between a decrease in medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity and specific SIDS risk factors, including tobacco smoking.40 These
data confirm results from earlier studies in humans39, 41 and are also consistent with studies in piglets that revealed that postnatal exposure to nicotine decreases medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity.42 Animal studies have revealed that serotonergic neurons located in the medullary raphe and adjacent paragigantocellularis lateralis play important roles in many autonomic functions including the control
of respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, thermoregulation,
sleep and arousal, and upper airway patency.
