RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY & NEUROBIOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Innovating Research at the Intersection of Physiology and Neurobiology
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Respiratory Mechanisms and Adaptations:
Research exploring the physiological mechanisms underlying respiratory function, including neural control of breathing, respiratory muscle dynamics, and adaptations to environmental challenges such as hypoxia and exercise. - Pathophysiology of Respiratory Diseases:
Investigation into the mechanisms and consequences of various respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary hypertension, focusing on both the physiological and molecular aspects. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Integration of methodologies from various fields, including neurobiology, exercise physiology, and environmental science, to understand the complex interactions affecting respiratory physiology. - Innovative Therapeutic Strategies:
Research on novel interventions and therapies aimed at improving respiratory function, including pharmacological treatments, rehabilitation techniques, and surgical approaches. - Impact of Environmental Factors:
Studies examining the effects of environmental stressors such as air pollution, altitude, and temperature on respiratory health, along with the physiological responses to these challenges.
Trending and Emerging
- Neurobiological Mechanisms of Breathing:
Increased focus on the neurobiological underpinnings of respiratory control, including the role of specific brain regions and neurotransmitter systems in modulating breathing patterns and responses to stress. - Impact of COVID-19 on Respiratory Health:
Significant attention is being given to the long-term effects of COVID-19 on respiratory function, including studies on post-acute sequelae and the mechanisms by which the virus affects lung physiology. - Innovative Respiratory Therapies and Techniques:
Research into novel therapeutic interventions, including non-invasive ventilation strategies, pharmacological innovations, and rehabilitation techniques aimed at improving respiratory outcomes. - Exercise Physiology and Respiratory Interaction:
Growing interest in the interactions between exercise and respiratory physiology, particularly how physical activity influences respiratory responses and adaptations in both healthy and diseased populations. - Environmental and Lifestyle Influences on Respiratory Health:
Emerging studies exploring the effects of lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and environmental exposures on respiratory health, emphasizing holistic approaches to prevention and treatment.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Respiratory Mechanics:
While still relevant, research focused solely on classical respiratory mechanics (e.g., basic lung function tests) has decreased as newer methodologies and technologies emerge, such as imaging techniques and computational models. - Basic Neuroanatomy of Respiration:
Studies that strictly focus on the anatomical aspects of the respiratory system without linking them to functional outcomes or diseases are becoming less common, as the field moves towards more integrative and functional approaches. - Static vs. Dynamic Lung Function Testing:
Research comparing static lung function testing methods has waned, likely due to the increasing recognition of dynamic testing's relevance in clinical settings and the development of more sophisticated assessment tools. - Animal Models with Limited Clinical Relevance:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies using traditional animal models that do not sufficiently translate to human respiratory physiology, as researchers seek models that better mimic human conditions. - Isolated Studies on Respiratory Physiology:
Papers focusing solely on isolated aspects of respiratory physiology, without consideration for broader physiological systems or interactions with other bodily systems, are less frequently published.
