Fig. 3.

Average airflow during inspiration as a function of the airway pressure before and during sciatic nerve stimulation (SNS). Measures were normalized by the airflow and pressure occurring at the maximum pressure and flow that occurred during baseline observations. Shaded regions are 1 standard deviation from the mean. For comparison, also shown is the outcome associated with hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) in the same animal model (3). Sciatic nerve was not transected.
