This brief review examines 1) patterns of intermittent hypoxemia in extremely preterm infants
during early postnatal life, 2) the relationship between neonatal intermittent hypoxemia …

The respiratory control network in the central nervous system undergoes critical
developmental events early in life to ensure adequate breathing at birth. There are at least …

Background Adverse events in early life can have impact lasting into adulthood. We
investigated the long-term effects of systemic inflammation during postnatal development on …

The development of the control of breathing begins in utero and continues postnatally. Fetal
breathing movements are needed for establishing connectivity between the lungs and …

Neonatal sepsis remains one of the leading causes of mortality in newborns. Several
brainstem-regulated physiological processes undergo disruption during neonatal sepsis …

Perinatal inflammation triggers breathing disturbances early in life and affects the respiratory
adaptations to challenging conditions, including the generation of amplitude long-term …

Infants exposed to opioids in utero are an increasing clinical population and these infants
are often diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Infants with NAS have …

Despite numerous studies investigating how prenatal exposures impact the developing
brain, there remains very little known about how these in utero exposures impact the life …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? We review the influence of prematurity on the
cardiorespiratory system and examine the common sequel of alterations in oxygen tension …

Inflammation arises from diverse stimuli eliciting distinct inflammatory profiles, yet little is
known about the effects of different inflammatory stimuli on respiratory motor plasticity …
