Description

This incomparable Second Edition of a standard reference - the only up-to-date book of its kind - offers comprehensive coverage of ventilatory control, linking basic investigations to areas of clinical concern and emphasizing the recent explosion of information in neurobiology and its applications to breathing regulation. Addressing a wide range of approaches from the reductionist to the highly integrative, Regulation of Breathing, Second Edition presents new findings on hypothalamic contributions to respiratory motor output ... the role of phrenic nerve afferents in ventilatory control ... the neurobiological effects of REM sleep ... rhythm generation in the brain ... central neural pathways containing sensory input from the periphery ... the basic properties of respiratory motoneurons and their efferent pathways ... and much more.
