Neuronal mechanisms conveying hypoxic tolerance to diving birds and mammals
We propose to use the in vitro brain slice technique with cortical and medullary-based (cerebellar) neuronal networks, to unravel adaptive neuronal mechanisms to hypoxia in higher vertebrates. In this context, we will also investigate the possible role of the respiratory pigment neuroglobin in t...
