May inform mechanisms of hypoxia-related sympathetic activation; hypothesis-generating for human cardiorespiratory disorders.
Short-term sustained hypoxia induces glutamate-dependent activation of medullary expiratory neurons, altering expiratory motor activity and increasing sympathetic outflow.
Moraes et al. (2014) studied this question.
