Cold-acclimation, not motor inactivity, attenuates GABA signaling in the respiratory network of bullfrogs in response to overwintering
Neural circuits produce reliable activity even after environmental disturbances. This occurs because neurons respond to perturbations in a compensatory manner, a process termed homeostatic plasticity. Bullfrogs undergo prolonged periods underwater during winter, when lung ventilation and its neural control system ceases activity, but air-breathing resumes unscathed when environmental temperatures…
