Breathing and sleep at high altitude.

TL;DR: An updated review on the current understanding of breathing and sleep at high altitude in humans concludes that progressive changes in pH initiated by the respiratory alkalosis do not underlie early ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH), and although oral acetazolamide is an effective means to reduce periodic breathing by 50-80%, recent studies using positive airway pressure devices to increase dead space, hyponotics and theophylline are emerging.

Carotid body denervation in dogs: eupnea and the ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnia.

TL;DR: There is no recovery in the eupneic drive to breathe or the ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnia after removal of the carotid chemoreceptors, indicating a lack of central or aortic chemoreceptor plasticity in the adult dog after CBX.
