TL;DR: The findings indicate that, even though the three types of receptors differ in sensory modality, they concur in exhibiting a predominant activity during inspiration, in fact, 65% of all receptors are active during eupneic inspiration and their activity increases markedly during upper airway obstruction.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the previously described laryngeal 'flow' receptors operate as thermoreceptors activated by cooling.

TL;DR: The majority of pressure receptors were active at zero transmural pressure and the gain of their response to pressure was higher at lower values, suggesting a role for these receptors in eupnea.

TL;DR: It is indicated that collapsing pressure in the larynx is the major stimulus in activating laryngeal afferents in breathing and during occluded inspiratory efforts.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the newborn has considerably less volume-related feedback during the respiratory cycle compared to the adult, and has fewer spontaneously active RARs than the adult.
