* RESEARCH BRIEFINGS * 07 August 2024 Molecular, anatomical and functional evidence point to a multi-nodal neural circuit that senses allergenic particles in inhaled air and induces


exaggerated airway constriction, a hallmark of asthma. This is the first description of a full circuit that starts in the lung and returns to control lung function.
