THERMAL SENSITIVITY OF VAGAL PULMONARY SENSORY NEURONS: ROLE OF TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL VANILLOID CHANNELS

Hyperthermia can occur in lungs and airways during both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. A previous study carried out in our laboratory showed that hyperthermia activates and sensitizes vagal bronchopulmonary Cfiber afferents, whether this effect is through a direct action of hyperth...
