Serotonin (5-HT) is integral to signalling in areas of the brainstem controlling ventilation and is involved in central chemoreception. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), used to effectively increase 5-HT concentrations, are commonly prescribed for depression. The effects of SSRIs on the control of breathing and the potential influence of cerebral blood flow (CBF) have not been directly assessed.

Breath-holding preceded by either an overnight fast or hyperventilation has been shown to potentiate the risk of a hypoxic blackout. However, no study has explored the combined effects of fasting and hyperventilation on apneic performance and associated physiological responses. Nine nondivers (8 males) attended the laboratory on two separate occasions (≥48 h apart), both after a 12-h overnight fast.

Normobaric hyperoxia stimulates ventilation (V̇e) in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Whether this occurs via an oxygen (O)-specific mechanism or secondary to carbon dioxide (CO) retention at the central chemoreceptors remains unclear. We measured the ventilatory response to hyperoxic CO rebreathing with O clamped at increasingly higher pressures.

This prospective cohort study assessed the effects of chronic hypoxaemia due to high-altitude residency on the cerebral tissue oxygenation (CTO) and cerebrovascular reactivity. Highlanders, born, raised, and currently living above 2,500 m, without cardiopulmonary disease, participated in a prospective cohort study from 2012 until 2017. The measurements were performed at 3,250 m.

We have examined the importance of three long-standing questions concerning chemoreceptor influences on cardiorespiratory function which are currently experiencing a resurgence of study among physiologists and clinical investigators. Firstly, while carotid chemoreceptors (CB) are required for hypoxic stimulation of breathing, use of an isolated, extracorporeally perfused CB preparation in unanaesthetized animals with maintained tonic input from the CB, reveals that extra-CB hypoxaemia also provides dose-dependent ventilatory stimulation sufficient to account for 40-50% of the total ventilatory response to steady-state hypoxaemia. Extra-CB hyperoxia also provides a dose- and time-dependent hyperventilation.
