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

The nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the initial site of integration of sensory information from
the cardiorespiratory system and contributes to reflex responses to hypoxia. Afferent fibers of …

Exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) induces prolonged increases (long term
facilitation, LTF) in phrenic and sympathetic nerve activity (PhrNA, SNA) under basal …

The nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the major integrative brainstem region for autonomic
modulation and processing of cardiovascular reflexes. GABA and glutamate are the main …

Diversity in the functional expression of ion channels contributes to the unique patterns of
activity generated in visceral sensory A-type myelinated neurons versus C-type …

The first synapses of the afferents of peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the Nucleus
Tractus Solitarius (NTS) and there is evidence that short-term sustained hypoxia (SH–24 h …

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in rodents mimics the hypoxia‐induced elevation of blood
pressure seen in individuals experiencing episodic breathing. The brainstem nucleus tractus …

Viscerosensory information travels to the brain via vagal afferents, where it is first integrated
within the brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS), a critical contributor to cardiorespiratory …

The brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the first site of integration of viscerosensory
information provided by afferents of the vagus nerves. The nTS critically contributes to …
