Respiratory Plasticity after Changes in Oxygen Supply and Demand
Ryan Bavis (Bates College, Lewiston, USA)
Frank Powell (University of California, San Diego, USA)

Plasticity, an alteration that persists with prolonged stimuli or after the stimulus has been removed, is known to occur in the lung (ambient oxygen conditions), the respiratory pigments (hypoxia), and the neural system controlling breathing (intermittent and sustained hypoxia; developmental hyperoxia; exercise; injury).
