New Manuscript
Results from our study exploring the cardiorespiratory effect of phrenic afferent activation is now available. Read it here: https://0-journals-physiology-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/doi/epdf/10.1152/jn.00433.2021. PMID: 34788165. This study used electrical stimulation applied to the whole phrenic nerve to activate phrenic afferents while monitoring contralateral phrenic motor output and cardiovascular parameters including blood pressure and heart rate. We provide evidence that activating phrenic afferents enhances respiratory motor output.
