Abstract

The airways and lungs are densely innervated by sensory nerves, which subserve multiple roles in both the normal physiological control of respiratory functions and in pulmonary defense. These sensory nerves are therefore not homogeneous in nature, but rather have physiological, molecular and anatomical phenotypes that reflect their purpose. All sensory neuron subtypes provide input to the central nervous system and drive reflex changes in respiratory and airway functions. But less appreciated is that ascending projections from these brainstem inputs to higher brain regions can also induce behavioural changes in respiration. In this brief review we provide an overview of the current understanding of airway sensory pathways, with specific reference to those involved in reflex and behavioural cough responses following airways irritation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 November 2014.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Thoracic Disease
#1,674
of 2,501 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#194,504
of 265,642 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Thoracic Disease
#27
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,501 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,642 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
