Similarities and differences in mechanisms of phrenic and hypoglossal motor facilitation
TL Baker-Herman, KA Strey - Respiratory physiology & neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Intermittent hypoxia-induced long-term facilitation (LTF) is variably expressed in the motor
output of several inspiratory nerves, such as the phrenic and hypoglossal. Compared to
phrenic LTF (pLTF), less is known about hypoglossal LTF (hLTF), although it is often
assumed that cellular mechanisms are the same. While fundamental mechanisms appear to
be similar, potentially important differences exist in the modulation of pLTF and hLTF. The
primary objectives of this paper are to:(1) review similarities and differences in pLTF and …
