Abstract
A variety of sensations related to pathological disturbances in the pulmonary function are well known by clinicians. Yet, until the beginning of the sixties, research on respiratory sensations had attracted remarkably little interest among scientists. It is hardly necessary to mention that this lack of interest originated in the fact that breathing was treated as an entirely homeostatic function. The involvement of the breathing apparatus in different behaviors such as locomotion, posture, vocalization, expulsory behaviors (defecation, micturation, cough), which markedly disturb the control of blood gases and respiratory pattern, was totally disregarded.
