Mechanisms of Arousal in Sleep Apnea

Narrative During obstructive sleep apnea, patients intermittently are unable to breathe while asleep, resulting in awakening, which restarts the breathing process. The intermittent awakenings cause daytime sleepiness and cognitive impairment, and contribute to developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. We are studying the brain circuitry that causes the awakenings, to determine if there are ways that we can restart breathing while minimizing awakenings, thereby eliminating the cognitive, cardiovascular, and metabolic consequences of obstructive sleep apnea.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
