DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsab084
Abstract: STUDY OBJECTIVES Genioglossus after-discharge is thought to protect against pharyngeal collapse by minimising periods of low upper airway muscle activity. How genioglossus after-discharge occurs and which single motor units (SMUs) are responsible for the phenomenon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsx057
Abstract: Study Objectives To determine whether arousals that terminate obstructive events in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (1) induce hypocapnia and (2) subsequently reduce genioglossus muscle activity following the return to sleep. Methods Thirty-one untreated patients with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00478.2021
Abstract: Anatomical and imaging evidence suggests neural control of oblique and horizontal compartments of the genioglossus differs. However, neurophysiological evidence for differential control remains elusive. This study aimed to determine whether there are differences in neural… read more here.
