The paper investigates sleep apnoea in spontaneously hypertensive rats and links it to microvascular rarefaction and vascular dementia through neuronal loss and neuroinflammation.

The paper uses imaging to study neural activity in brainstem regions during CO2 exposure in mice, revealing distinct roles for RTN, Raphe, and pFL in respiratory chemosensitivity.

The paper shows that CO2-binding to Cx26 in glial cells of the medulla oblongata contributes significantly to ventilatory responses to CO2.
