| Description | This cluster of papers explores the neural mechanisms underlying respiratory control, including central chemoreception, carotid body function, serotonergic neuron involvement, and the role of hypothalamic regulation in maintaining respiratory homeostasis. It also investigates the relationship between respiratory control and conditions such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and the physiological processes of oxygen sensing and thermoregulation. |
