哈佛医学院的研究人员发现，小鼠体内有一种新型的喘息反射，是由肺细胞响应气道关闭而触发的。 Researchers at Harvard Medical School found a novel gasping reflex in mice triggered by lung cells in response to airway closure.

哈佛医学院的研究人员发现，小鼠体内有一种新的喘息反射，是由肺细胞响应气道关闭而触发的。 Researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered a novel gasping reflex in mice triggered by lung cells in response to airway closure. 肺部的感觉神经元通过迷走神经向大脑发出信号以启动反射，这有助于动物应对空气不足的情况。 Sensory neurons in the lungs signal the brain through the vagus nerve to initiate the reflex, which helps the animal cope with a lack of air. 这种新发现的迷走神经反射揭示了控制呼吸系统的脑体连接。 This newfound reflex of the vagus nerve sheds light on the brain-body connection controlling the respiratory system.
