Lingual muscle activity across sleep-wake states in rats with surgically altered upper airway

Lingual muscle activity across sleep-wake states in rats with surgically altered upper airway

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients have increased upper airway muscle activity, including such lingual muscles as the genioglossus (GG), geniohyoid (GH) and hyoglossus (HG). This adaptation partially protects their upper airway against obstructions. Rodents are used to study the central neural c...
