As in other neural systems, plasticity is a hallmark of the neural system controlling breathing.
One spinal mechanism of respiratory plasticity is phrenic long‐term facilitation (pLTF) …

Although neuroplasticity is an important property of the respiratory motor control system, its
existence has been appreciated only in recent years and, as a result, its functional …

Spinal injury disrupts connections between the brain and spinal cord, causing life-long
paralysis. Most spinal injuries are incomplete, leaving spared neural pathways to motor …

Serotonergic neurons modulate behavioral and physiological responses from aggression
and anxiety to breathing and thermoregulation. Disorders involving serotonin (5HT) …

Phrenic long‐term facilitation (pLTF) is a serotonin (5‐HT)‐dependent augmentation of
phrenic motor output induced by acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). AIH‐induced pLTF …

Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) initiates plasticity in respiratory motor control, including
phrenic long term facilitation (pLTF). Since pLTF is enhanced by preconditioning with …

Respiratory-related complications are the leading cause of death in spinal cord injury (SCI)
patients. Few effective SCI treatments are available after therapeutic interventions are …

Purpose.: To evaluate whether veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or
depression have differences in dry eye symptoms and signs compared to a population …

Ventilatory long-term facilitation (LTF; defined as gradual increase of minute ventilation
following repeated hypoxic exposures) is well described in adult mammals and is …

Acute intermittent (AIH), but not acute sustained hypoxia (ASH) elicits a form of respiratory
plasticity known as long-term facilitation (LTF). In anesthetized rats, LTF is expressed as …
