The present review assesses the current state of literature defining integrative autonomic-
immune physiological processing, focusing on studies that have employed …

The cardiac neuronal hierarchy can be represented as a redundant control system made up
of spatially distributed cell stations comprising afferent, efferent, and interconnecting …

It is now well accepted that the sympathetic nervous system responds to specific afferent
stimuli in a unique non‐uniform fashion. The means by which the brain transforms the …

A number of neurohumoral processes are activated in heart failure, including an increase in
the plasma concentration of norepinephrine. Few studies have been performed to examine …

Voluntary end-expiratory apnoea in a 23-year-old asymptomatic mild hypertensive patient
consistently elicited bradyarrhythmias (complete heart block and sinus pause) and …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review focuses on studies implicating forebrain neural
pathways and neuromodulator systems, particularly, the nitric oxide system within the …

Nitric oxide may act at autonomic sites in the brain to regulate sympathetic outflow. Our goal
was to determine whether gene expression of the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase …

Virend K. Somers; Shahrokh Javaheri consequent presser responses to
hypoxemiahypercapnia, particularly in the absence of inhibitory effects of breathing, are …

We sought to identify the areas that have altered neuronal activity within the hypothalamus
of rats with heart failure (HF) by mapping neuronal staining of c-Fos protein (Fos) 6–8 weeks …

Increasing renal pelvic pressure results in PGE2-mediated release of substance P.
Substance P increases afferent renal nerve activity (ARNA), which leads to a reflex increase …
