Abstract
Apart from the obvious medical interest in understanding breathing, the respiratory rhythm is ideally suited for the study of state dependence and modifiability in central pattern generators (CPGs) in general. The list of variables with dramatic effects on breathing is impressive, including temperature, sleep/wake state, 02 and CO2 concentrations, airway irritation, conscious control, and a variety of pathological conditions. The ongoing breathing rhythm can be interrupted by coughing, sneezing, hiccoughing, swallowing, or vomiting; it can also be suspended in the post-inspiratory phase by vocalization. The pattern of breathing itself can take on several qualitatively distinct patterns, including eupneic (“normal”) breathing, panting, sighing, periodic breathing (during sleep), and gasping (in hypoxia).
