Tonically Discharging Genioglossus Motor Units Show No Evidence of Rate Coding With Hypercapnia

The genioglossus (GG) is considered the principle protrudor muscle of the human tongue. Unlike most skeletal muscles, GG electromyographic (EMG) activities are robustly preserved in sleep and thus may fulfill a critical role in preserving airway patency. Previous studies in human subjects also confi...
