This paper provides an overview of our current understanding of the serotonergic and opioidergic mechanisms of cough and antitussives. Systemic administration of 8-OH-DPAT, at doses of 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg, ip, markedly reduced the number of coughs in rats in a dose-dependent manner. The antitussive ef
Efforts have been directed to evolve a computerized system for acquisition and multi-dimensional analysis of the cough sound. The system consists of a PC-AT486 computer with an ADC board having 12 bit resolution. The audio cough sound is acquired using a sensitive miniature microphone at a sampling
