The brain covers a small fraction of the total body mass (~2%) but consumes up to 20% of the oxygen in the body and is a major producer of free radicals/reactive oxygen species (ROS). Due to low levels of antioxidants, auto-oxidation of neurotransmitters and the fact that neurons are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, this makes them more prone to lipid peroxidation, making this organ p…
The dysfunction of the respiratory system is seen in several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, but how the pathophysiology mechanisms of the disease are related with the respiratory system remain poorly documented. Current clinical criteria for diagnosing AD (Alzheimer's Disease) are mainly focused on cognitive deficits produced by dysfunctions of hippocampal and neocortical…
Locus Coeruleus (LC) is a noradrenergic nucleus of the brainstem that modulates several physiological and behavioral functions, as well as being involved in pathological conditions such as panic disorder, Rett syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, which are characterized by changes in chemosensitivity to CO2/pH. LC noradrenergic neurons play an important role in hypercanic ventilatory r…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder often associated with age, whose cognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations result in progressive disability and eventual incapacitation. More than 70% of patients institutionalized with AD present respiratory dysfunctions and these problems may contribute or lead to cognitive decline. These respiratory impairments probably refle…
