The ventilatory response to hypoxia in mammals: mechanisms, measurement, and analysis
LJ Teppema, A Dahan - Physiological reviews, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
The respiratory response to hypoxia in mammals develops from an inhibition of breathing
movements in utero into a sustained increase in ventilation in the adult. This ventilatory …

Domoic acid and human exposure risks: a review
KA Lefebvre, A Robertson - Toxicon, 2010 - Elsevier
Domoic acid is a potent neurotoxin that is naturally produced by several diatom species of

Chronic intermittent hypoxia impairs baroreflex control of heart rate but enhances heart rate responses to vagal efferent stimulation in anesthetized mice
M Lin, R Liu, D Gozal, WB Wead… - American Journal …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) leads to increased sympathetic nerve activity and arterial

A size selective vascular barrier in the rat area postrema formed by perivascular macrophages and the extracellular matrix
CL Willis, CJ Garwood, DE Ray - Neuroscience, 2007 - Elsevier
The fenestrated microvasculature of the area postrema shows a less restrictive blood–brain
barrier than is found in other areas of the CNS. We have studied the expression and …
