Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Donald Bolser"
- Donald Bolser's recent research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying respiratory control, particularly the role of the amygdala and various brainstem networks in regulating breathing and airway defense behaviors.
- His studies explore how hypoxia induces gasping and alters inspiratory drive, emphasizing disinhibitory microcircuits and their impact on respiratory functions and cardiovascular coordination.
- Bolser also examines the effects of opioids on swallowing dysfunction and the cough reflex, employing feline models to dissect the roles of vagal afferent pathways and neuronal excitability in respiratory and swallowing mechanics.
