...Eytan Cohen; Kevin Murphy; Lewis Adams; Abraham Guz; Gila Benchetrit 1. To assess whether voluntary control of breathing is impaired in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a group of such patients performed a tracking task, requiring volitional control of respiratory muscles. 2...

With airway occlusion above the end-expiratory level, the strength of the Hering-Breuer expiratory-promoting reflex was calculated from the prolongation of expiratory time caused by the sustained tonic vagal activity [ I l , 121.
