Respiration: The circuit for hypoxia-induced sighs

Sighs are a response to hypoxia, altered lung volume, and emotional state. A recent study employing in vivo physiology, optogenetics, chemoablation, and genetic silencing shows the importance of gastrin releasing peptide-expressing neurons in mediating sighs. Sighs are a response to hypoxia, altered...
