Sub-cortical and brainstem sites associated with chemo-stimulated increases in ventilation in humans [PDF]
, 2010 We investigated the neural basis for spontaneous chemo-stimulated increases in ventilation in awake, healthy humans. Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI was performed in nine healthy subjects using T2weighted echo planar imaging.
