Abstract
Behaviorally inhibition (BI) is believed to be a genetically determined trait that affects about 33% of the population. These individuals also tend to respond to stressful situations differently than Non-Behaviorally inhibited (Non-BI) individuals. In our laboratory, we have been able to display differences in how BI people respond to CO2 differently compared to Non-BI people through our current studies comparing breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. In this study, we sought to learn how sensitive BI individuals are to CO2 compared to Non-BI individuals. To demonstrate this, our group will exposed participants to a 15 minute control period to establish baseline breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure followed by a four minute period breathing each of the 3 levels of elevated CO2 which include 3%, 5%, and 7%, respectively. We hypothesized that the mechanism with which BI individuals respond to elevated CO2 iwould be different than that of Non-BI people, and we predicted that the slope of the CO2 sensitivity (inspired minute ventilation (L/min)/ %CO2) of BI individuals would be different than that of Non-BI individuals.
