Role of Propriospinal Neurons in Control of Respiratory Muscles and Recovery of Breathing Following Injury
Respiratory motor failure is the leading cause of death in spinal cord injury (SCI). Cervical injuries disrupt connections between brainstem neurons that are the primary source of excitatory drive to respiratory motor neurons in the spinal cord and their targets. In addition to direct connections fr...
