Routine hypercapnic challenge after cervical spinal hemisection affects the size of phrenic motoneurons
Abstract After an individual experiences a cervical cord injury, the cell body's adaptation to the smaller size of phrenic motoneurons occurs within several weeks. It is not known whether a routine hypercapnic load can alter this adaptation of phrenic motoneurons. We investigated this question...
