On Breathing Variability in the Tree Shrew

Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) are increasingly used in comparative neuroscience, yet their respiratory physiology remains poorly characterized.

Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) are increasingly used in comparative neuroscience, yet their respiratory physiology remains poorly characterized. We quantified spontaneous breathing and respiratory rhythm variability in awake adult tree shrews (n = 10; 5 males, 5 females) using…
