Cardiorespiratory alterations following intermittent photostimulation of RVLM C1 neurons: Implications for long‐term blood pressure, breathing and sleep regulation in freely moving rats

The finding that intermittent activation of RVLM-C1 neurons induces autonomic and breathing dysfunction suggest that episodic stimulation of RVLM-C1 may serve as a pathological substrate for the long-term development of cardiorespiratory disorders.
