Respiratory and circulatory control during sleep.

J H Coote

    The Journal of Experimental Biology
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sleep involves significant cardiovascular and respiratory changes across vertebrates, likely regulated by the brainstem to optimize oxygen and carbon dioxide transport to the brain while conserving energy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Sleep is characterized by complex physiological adjustments in vertebrates.
    • These adjustments appear conserved across species, suggesting a common regulatory mechanism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the 'goal-directed' neural control of cardiovascular and respiratory systems during sleep.
    • To understand how brainstem neural structures ensure adequate gas transport to the brain while minimizing energy expenditure.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on vertebrate sleep physiology.
    • Analysis of cardiovascular and respiratory data during synchronized and desynchronized sleep stages.

    Main Results:

    • Sleep induces profound, species-similar cardiovascular and respiratory changes, including altered heart rate, blood pressure, and cerebral blood flow.
    • During synchronized sleep, bradycardia and reduced cardiac output occur, yet cerebral blood flow increases.
    • Desynchronized sleep shows a unique sympathetic discharge pattern, increased cerebral blood flow, altered ventilation, and a shift in respiratory control mechanisms.

    Conclusions:

    • Brainstem neural structures likely direct sleep-related cardiovascular and respiratory adjustments for optimal brain gas exchange and energy conservation.
    • Specific neural pathways, potentially involving the caudal raphe nucleus obscurus, initiate these differential patterns.
    • Respiratory control shifts during desynchronized sleep, indicating a distinct central generator is active.
