Funded Activity Summary

This project will study how human inspiratory muscles that 'pump' air into the lungs and upper airway 'dilator' muscles are controlled in normal healthy subjects and subjects with respiratory disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea. We will study (i) the output to the inspiratory muscles, (ii) the interation of automatic and voluntary control of breathing, and (iii) reflex connections of human pump and dilator muscles. This work promises new understanding of basic and patho-physiology.
