Product 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. Highlights neurophysiologic mechanisms utilizing a diversity of experimental models such as isolated brain stem spinal cord preparation, brain slice preparations of the hypothalamus and medulla, microdialysis, neurotransmitter studies, and in vivo recordings! Addressing a wide range of approaches from the reductionist to the highly integrative, Regulation of Breathing, Second Edition gives detailed outlines of central neural pathways containing sensory input from the periphery describes the basic properties of respiratory motoneurons and their efferent pathways supplies the latest results and theories on rhythm generation in the brain examines the hormonal control of breathing in animals and humans discusses developmental aspects of ventilatory control and mechanisms of chemosensing transduction delineates causes of respiratory failure, mechanisms of exercise hyperpnea, and sensations of dyspnea and much more! Providing a novel perspective on central chemoreception, the 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
