In the second episode of this three-part series, we delve into the science behind Refractory Chronic Cough (RCC), focusing on the role of neuronal hypersensitivity and how the cough reflex becomes dysregulated.1 Join leading experts as they explain the neurobiology of RCC, discuss the latest research, and share practical insights for identifying RCC in clinical practice.

Could 'gravity prescriptions' become a new form of therapy? Spiegel explores the concept of bio-gravitational medicine, from flotation tanks to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)-developed rehabilitation technology, and how virtual reality may help patients simulate weightlessness. He also predicts what the next decade of gravity research will bring.Timestamps:01:20 – Bio-gravitational medicine explained04:15 – Gravi-type09:08 – Anti gravity devices11:09 – Virtual reality
