On Breathing Variability in the Tree Shrew
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 whole-body plethysmography. Respiratory frequency decreased by approximately 16% with acclimatization to the recording…
