A COPD study found that the cognitive prefrontal cortex and the emotional limbic system may respond differently to dyspnoea-related stimuli. The study hypothesises that dyspnoea is transmitted and processed through neuronal pathways that may differ by underlying disease, triggers, and subjective symptom dimensions. Known cerebral structures involved in dyspnoea mediation include the anterior insula, limbic and paralimbic regions in the cingulate gyrus and amygdala, and cerebellar midline regions.
