Habituation without NMDA receptor-dependent desensitization of Hering-Breuer apnea reflex in a Mecp2+/- mutant mouse model of Rett syndrome

Habituation without NMDA receptor-dependent desensitization of Hering-Breuer apnea reflex in a Mecp2+/- mutant mouse model of Rett syndrome

Nonassociative learning is a basic neuroadaptive behavior exhibited in almost all animal species and sensory modalities but its functions and mechanisms in the mammalian brain are poorly understood. Previous studies have identified two distinct forms of nonassociative learning in the classic Hering-...
