Developmental Neurobiology of Breathing / Edition 1

by Gabriel Haddad

Overview

This monograph provides a comprehensive basis for understanding the complex interactions that take place between synaptic input, cellular properties, and the oscillatory output of a neural network, especially in the maturing or developing nervous system. Emphasis is placed on drawing a parallel betw

Editorial Reviews

This monograph provides a comprehensive basis for understanding the complex interactions that take place between synaptic input, cellular properties, and the oscillatory output of a neural network, especially in the maturing or developing nervous system. Emphasis is placed on drawing a parallel between the neonate and the mature subject in order to highlight some of the different strategies that the newborn uses when challenged with stress. Several chapters have been included that do not specifically deal with development of respiratory control; instead, these chapters consider aspects of neurobiology that are important for interpreting the developmental information.
