Journal Article
Moe, A. A. K., Singh, N., Dimmock, M., Cox, K., McGarvey, L., Fan Chung, K., McGovern, A. E., McMahon, M., Richards, A. L., Farrell, M. J., & Mazzone, S. B. (2024). Brainstem processing of cough sensory inputs in chronic cough hypersensitivity. EBioMedicine, 100, Article 104976. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.104976

Background
Chronic cough is a prevalent and difficult to treat condition often accompanied by cough hypersensitivity, characterised by cough triggered from exposure to low level sensory stimuli. The mechanisms underlying cough hypersensitivity may i... Read More about Brainstem processing of cough sensory inputs in chronic cough hypersensitivity.
