Peripheral chemoreceptor afferent information is sent to the nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS),
integrated, and relayed to other brain regions to alter cardiorespiratory function. The nTS …

The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is essential to peripheral chemoreflex
neurocircuitry, but the specific efferent pathways utilized are not well defined. The PVN …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) contributes to both autonomic and
neuroendocrine function. PVN lesion or inhibition blunts cardiorespiratory responses to …

Chemoreflex neurocircuitry includes the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), but the role of PVN
efferent projections to specific cardiorespiratory nuclei is unclear. We hypothesized that the …

The nucleus tractus solitarius (nTS) of the brainstem receives sensory afferent inputs,
processes that information, and sends projections to a variety of brain regions responsible …

Hypoxic respiratory and cardiovascular responses in mammals are mediated by peripheral
chemoreceptor afferents which are relayed centrally via the solitary tract nucleus (NTS) in …

Hypoxia activates catecholamine neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). The
hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) modulates arterial chemoreflex responses and …

The autonomic nervous and respiratory systems, as well as their coupling, adapt over a wide
range of conditions. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a model for recurrent apneas and …

It is well known that breathing introduces rhythmical oscillations in the heart rate and arterial
pressure levels. Sympathetic oscillations coupled to the respiratory activity have been …

The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives inputs from both arterial chemoreceptors and
central noradrenergic neural structures activated during hypoxia. We investigated …
