The time of day that an experimental oxygen therapy is given highly influences its efficacy in spurring a form of plasticity in the neural system controlling breathing, according to new rat-model research by University of Florida neuroscientists.
BREATHE T32 trainee, Alyssa Mickle, received the Trainee Professional Development Award from the Society for Neuroscience for her abstract titled “Distribution of cervical spinal c-Fos expression after epidural stimulation in rats with cervical spinal cord injury.” This award will help fund her travel to the Society for Neuroscience’s…
