Hypothesis-generating for glial modulation of autonomic reflexes in hypoxia; should not change clinical practice without human validation.
Short-term sustained hypoxia alters glia-neuron interactions to increase the excitability and excitatory transmission of NTS neurons, enhancing baroreflex and chemoreflex sensitivity.
Accorsi‐Mendonça et al. (2015) studied this question.
