The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is the first site of integration for primary baroreceptor
afferents, which release glutamate to excite second‐order neurones through ionotropic …

Neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1-R) expressing neurons are densely distributed throughout the
nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS). However, their fundamental role in arterial baroreflex function …

Key points Hindbrain NMDA receptors play important roles in reflexive and behavioural
responses to vagal activation. NMDA receptors have also been shown to contribute to the …

Nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) plays an important role in regulating
sympathetic nerve activity. The aims of this study were to determine whether the activation of …

In this study, we identified the neurons within nucleus tractus solitarius (nTS) activated by
stimulation of airway sensory systems and examined the expression of AMPA receptor …

Sympathetic overactivity and altered respiratory control are commonly observed after
chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) exposure. However, the central mechanisms underlying …

The solitary tract nucleus (NTS) conveys visceral information to diverse central networks
involved in homeostatic regulation. Although afferent information content arriving at various …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is a stable reactive oxygen species and potent
neuromodulator of cellular and synaptic activity. Centrally, endogenous H 2 O 2 is elevated …

The respiratory tree receives sensory innervation from the jugular and nodose vagal sensory
ganglia. Neurons of these ganglia are derived from embryologically distinct origins and as …

Many homeostatic reflexes depend on autonomic central nervous system mechanisms to
systemically coordinate visceral organ function. The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) is the …
