Post-mortem brain pathology is related to declining respiratory function in community-dwelling older adults

Post-mortem brain pathology is related to declining respiratory function in community-dwelling older adults

Damage to brain structures which constitute the distributed neural network that integrates respiratory muscle and pulmonary functions, can impair adequate ventilation and its volitional control. We tested the hypothesis that the level of brain pathology in older adults is associated with declining r...
