Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.
30 Oct 2009 
The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...
The effect of maxillary multidirectional movement on nasal respiration.
29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Deformities of the maxilla may exist on all planes, and we treat these problems by mobilizing and repositioning the maxilla on all planes. Some authors have examined the effects of maxillary movement on the nasal airway. In clinical, ... Read more...
Noeud vital for breathing in the brainstem: gasping--yes, eupnoea--doubtful.
10 Sep 2009 For the past 200 years, various regions of the brainstem have been proposed as a 'noeud vital' for breathing-a critical region which, when destroyed, results in an irreversible cessation of breathing and death. Complicating this search for a noeud ... Read more...
