Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology (RESPNB) publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning physiology and pathophysiology of respiration in its broadest sense.

Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high-quality papers in traditional areas, such as:

• Mechanics of breathing

• Gas exchange and acid-base balance

• Respiration at rest and exercise

• Respiration in unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen

• Embryonic and adult respiration

• Comparative respiratory physiology

• Papers on clinical aspects, original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology.
