Mammalian respiratory rhythm-generating circuits in the brainstem are subject to
neuromodulation by multiple peptidergic afferent inputs controlling circuit behavior and …

Breathing is fundamental to life and any adverse change in respiratory function can
endanger the health of an organism or even be fatal. Perinatal inflammation is known to …

The autonomic brainstem generates breathing rhythm by integrating inputs from
chemosensors and mechanosensors in the viscera and coordinating descending outputs …

We hypothesize that developmental changes in motoneuron volume or surface area in the
hypoglossal motor nucleus (XII) can alter the biophysical properties that contribute to motor …

Background Food intake augments CO 2 production; however, minute ventilation is not
augmented during exercise after food intake. Respiratory chemoreceptors respond to CO 2 …

Since their domestication in the Near East approximately 10,000 years ago, sheep have
adapted to a wide spectrum of geographic, ecosystems and management regimes due to …

In this study, patients with newborn respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) were selected as
the subjects and randomly divided into a NCPAP Group and a BiPAP group. The NCPAP …
