An interoceptive predictive coding model of conscious presence [PDF]
, 2012 We describe a theoretical model of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying conscious presence and its disturbances. The model is based on interoceptive prediction error and is informed by predictive models of agency, general models of hierarchical ...

Cooperative Oxygen Sensing by the Kidney and Carotid Body in Blood Pressure Control
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Oxygen sensing mechanisms are vital for homeostasis and survival. When oxygen levels are too low (hypoxia), blood flow has to be increased, metabolism reduced, or a combination of both, to counteract tissue damage.

Acute oxygen sensing: diverse but convergent mechanisms in airway and arterial chemoreceptors [PDF]
, 2001 Airway neuroepithelial bodies sense changes in inspired O2, whereas arterial O2 levels are monitored primarily by the carotid body. Both respond to hypoxia by initiating corrective cardiorespiratory reflexes, thereby optimising gas exchange in the face ...
