Modulation of Hypoglossal Motoneurons by Nitric Oxide
… the United States (Parish & Somers, 2004). The hypoglossal motor nucleus (HMN) controls genioglossus muscle tone and is critically important for maintaining airway patency; loss of excitatory input to the HMN during sleep results in disfacilitation of hypoglossal motoneurons, increased airway …

Developmental Nicotine Exposure And Its Effects On Morphology And Electrophysiology Of Hypoglossal Motoneurons In The Neonatal Rat
… DNE altered the structure and function of the hypoglossal motoneurons (XIIMNs) over the first few days post-parturition. Previous work in XIIMNs demonstrated an increase in cellular excitability (Pilarski et al., 2011), alterations in synaptic transmission among respiratory-related neurons …

Changes in the Morphology of Hypoglossal Motor Neurons in the Brainstem of Developing Rats
… descending outputs from higher CNS structures. Hypoglossal motoneurons (XII MNs) receive inputs from respiratory premotor neurons in the medulla. Previous studies in rodents have demonstrated significant changes in breathing control during the first three weeks of life, with a sensitive period …

Plasticity of Brainstem Motor Systems in Response to Developmental Nicotine Exposure
Developmental nicotine exposure (DNE) is known to cause abnormal development of multiple brain regions and results in impaired control of breathing and altered behaviors that rely on proper coordination of the muscles of the tongue. The adverse effects of nicotine are presumably caused by its …
