Serotonin and the control of eupneic breathing
(2018-01-01)
The mechanisms responsible for respiratory rhythm and pattern generation are continuously tuned by neuromodulators. Serotonin is a powerful modulator of the respiratory network that regulates synaptic and intrinsic properties ...
An emerging class of air pollutants: Potential effects of microplastics to respiratory human health?
It is increasingly recognized that the ubiquity of convenient single-use plastic has
resulted in a global plastic pollution challenge, with substantial environmental and
health consequences. Physical, chemical, and ...
Extensive enriched environments protect old rats from the aging dependent impairment of spatial cognition, synaptic plasticity and nitric oxide production
(Elsevier Science, 2006-02)
In aged rodents, neuronal plasticity decreases while spatial learning and working memory (WM) deficits increase. As it is well known, rats reared in enriched environments (EE) show better cognitive performances and an ...
Chemoreception and neuroplasticity in respiratory circuits
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-01)
The respiratory central pattern generator must respond to chemosensory cues to maintain oxygen (O-2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) homeostasis in the blood and tissues. To do this, sensorial cells located in the periphery and ...
Learning experiences comprising central ethanol exposure in rat neonates: Impact upon respiratory plasticity and the activity of brain catalase
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2020-11)
Fetal ethanol exposure represents a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome, and the respiratory effects of fetal ethanol exposure promote hypoxic ischemic consequences. This study analyzes central ethanol's effects ...
Co-existence of ethanol-related respiratory and motivational learning processes based on a tactile discrimination procedure in neonatal rats
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2019-11)
In rats, high ethanol doses during early postnatal life exert deleterious effects upon brain development that impact diverse social and cognitive abilities. This stage in development partially overlaps with the third human ...
Brain acetaldehyde exposure impacts upon neonatal respiratory plasticity and ethanol-related learning in rodents
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-03-21)
Prior studies indicate that neonates are very sensitive to ethanol’s positive reinforcing effects and to its depressant effects upon breathing. Acetaldehyde (ACD) appears to play a major role in terms of modulating early ...
Effects of environmental temperature on oxygen diffusion capacity during post-natal development in the altricial rodent, Phyllotis darwini
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2009)
Acute intermittent hypoxia evokes ventilatory long-term facilitation and active expiration in unanesthetized rats
(2021-12-01)
Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) modifies the functioning of the respiratory network, causing respiratory motor facilitation in anesthetized animals and a compensatory increase in pulmonary ventilation in freely behaving ...
