Abstract: Pulmonary vagal nociceptors defend the airways. Cardiopulmonary vagal nociceptors synapse in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Evidence has demonstrated convergence of cardiopulmonary nociceptors with afferents from carotid chemoreceptors. Whether sensory convergence occurs in motor nuclei… read more here.
