Sneezing is a basic reflex that expels irritants and pathogens from the airway. Although designed to be a defense mechanism, sneezing is associated with many viral respiratory infections (e.g., common cold and flu) and allergic rhinitis (a.k.a., hay fever), and severely impacts our quality of life a...网页To study the neural mech-anism underlying the sneezing reflex, we established a behav-ioral model in freely moving mice. Studies have shown that capsaicin (a pungent …
