Department of Medical Pharmacology, University of California, Davis, CA, USA
J Appl Physiol 101:322-7. 2006..This review focuses on existing evidence for plasticity in the NTS, potential targets for plasticity in the NTS, and the impact of this plasticity on lung and airway reflexes...
Extended secondhand tobacco smoke exposure induces plasticity in nucleus tractus solitarius second-order lung afferent neurons in young guinea pigsShin ichi Sekizawa

Department of Pharmacology, University of California Davis, GBSF 3617, 451 Health Sciences Drive, Davis, CA 95616, USA
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol 198:267-82. 2012..Changes were significant (P < 0.05), supporting our hypothesis by showing that, as temperature falls, rapid-onset neurons contribute more to signal processing but less to energy conservation than do delayed-onset neurons...
Air pollutants and coughJesse P Joad
Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Davis, 2516 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Pulm Pharmacol Ther 20:347-54. 2007..Ozone and allergen increased the intrinsic excitability of second-order neurones in the NTS. The animal studies suggest that the cough and wheeze experienced by humans exposed to pollutants may involve plasticity in the nervous system...

Department of Pharmacology, University of California, Davis School of Medicine, 4150 V Street, 1104 PSSB, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Respir Physiol Neurobiol 152:312-9. 2006..This review integrates evidence implicating the NTS in exaggerated cough with proof of the concept that NTS neurons undergo plasticity to contribute to an exaggeration of cough...
