Sleep, Breathing, and Neurological Disorders

TL;DR: The way sleep, sleep disorders, and breathing interact with the brain and other neural structures is described and how dysfunctions result in sleep and sleep-related breathing disturbances are discussed.

Residual chemosensitivity to ventilatory challenges in genotyped congenital central hypoventilation syndrome

TL;DR: R residual cardiorespiratory responses suggest partial preservation of central nervous system networks that could provide a fulcrum for potential pharmacological interventions.

Control of ventilation in Ondine's curse

TL;DR: In this article, an evaluation of ventilatory control during sleep in a child with Congenital Central Alveolar Hypoventilation (CH) was performed, showing that CH is associated with failure of central chemoreceptors, located normally in the ventrolateral area of the medulla.

Alveolar hypoventilation syndrome: Studies of ventilatory control in patients selected for diaphragm pacing

TL;DR: In this paper, the ventilatory responses to hypoxia were obtained by a non-steady state closed-circuit rebreathing method, and the authors concluded that ablation or severe blunting of the ventilation responses is a frequent and previously underestimated component of this disorder; and that diaphragm pacing is an appropriate form of therapy.
