Neural Plasticity of the Hypoxic Reflex: Carotid Bodies, NTS and Pons
Sponsored by APS Respiration Section
Oxidative Stress/Hypoxia Track

Increasing evidence shows that the respiratory responses to acute and long-term hypoxia are adapted by multiple plasticity mechanisms in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This symposium will highlight the recent advances in elucidating the neural plasticity of the nucleus tractus solitarius and other central and peripheral processes in the hypoxic chemoafferent pathway. A variety of related issues will be addressed featuring multidisciplinary research approaches at the genetic/molecular, cellular and systems levels in vivo, in vitro and in silico.
