How Estrogen Influences Respiratory Function and Spinal Respiratory Neuroplasticity - Webinar

Flexibility in respiratory motor function is critical for human survival. A fundamental characteristic of the respiratory neural system facilitating this flexibility is the capacity to express neuroplasticity.
Defined as a persistent change in neural activity based on experience, neuroplasticity enables sustained changes in breathing output in response to physiological or environmental challenges across the lifespan. Although significant research has been directed towards identifying the cellular and molecular mechanisms of respiratory neuroplasticity, we know little about sex differences in these mechanisms or the extent to which endogenous sex hormones influence mechanisms of respiratory neuroplasticity.
