During quiet breathing, inspiratory neurons fire for ~2 seconds to command inspiratory muscles and become inactive for ~3 seconds, allowing passive recoil of the lungs.
Durante la respiración tranquila, las neuronas inspiratorias se activan durante ~2 segundos para estimular los músculos inspiratorios y se desactivan durante ~3 segundos, permitiendo la expansión pasiva de los pulmones.
