Postnatal development of the purinergic signaling system in the preBötzinger Complex; implications for the hypoxic ventilatory response
DownloadFall 2023
Low oxygen (hypoxia) evokes the biphasic hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), in which carotid-body chemoreceptors trigger a rapid increase in ventilation (VE) followed by a centrally-mediated, secondary hypoxic depression of respiration (HRD) and metabolic rate (VO2) that involves adenosine. In...

Spring 2016
The hypoxic ventilatory response comprises of an initial increase in ventilation, followed by a secondary depression that can be life threatening in premature infants. During hypoxia, ATP is released in the ventrolateral medulla, where it is suggested to attenuate the secondary hypoxic...

The Effect of Caffeine on the Neurobehavioral and Neuropathological Outcome of the Newborn Rat
DownloadSpring 2010
Caffeine is used for the treatment of apnea of prematurity. The objective of this study was to determine the long term neuropathological and neurobehavioral effects of caffeine on the immature rat brain. Newborn rats were injected with either caffeine, or normal saline from postnatal days 3 to 7,...
