Patch-Seq is shorthand for “patch-clamp, followed by next-generation sequencing.” It’s a collaborative procedure that’s only been performed in a few labs. Christopher Del Negro says there’s a good ...

First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen—but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past ...

The overall goal of this study is to increase our understanding of the neural control of respiration at several hierarchical levels. The respiratory rhythm in mammals is generated in the lower ...

Researchers propose PGE exerts adenosine-mediated effects on brainstem mechanisms of respiratory control, which may lead to destabilization of breathing in human infants undergoing treatment for ...

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...
