Abstract:
Chronic-intermittent hypoxia (CIH) was postulated to activate thalamic regions that are synaptically related to autonomic-related areas of the cerebral cortex. Animals exposed to CIH for 30 days exhibited c-fos labeling in paraventricular thalamic and lateral habenular nuclei. Our findings strongly suggest activation of a diencephalic network that participates in behavioral responses to chronic stress.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
