title: [Role of the pyramidal tract in the mechanism of dyspnea and hyperventilation].
abstract: Hypoxia evoked by mechanical asphyxia first of all disturbs the generation of potentials in pyramidal tract neurons. Hypoxic work, therefore, causes inadequate contraction of somatic muscles, a difficulty in work performance and respiratory discomfort. Concurrently, the disturbance of the pyramidal tract disinhibits the respiratory center of the brain stem with a result of excessive hyperventilation during hypoxic work.
