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 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 …

The nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the first central site for the termination and integration of
autonomic and respiratory sensory information. Sensory afferents terminating in the nTS as …

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 brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) processes and modulates the afferent arc of
critical peripheral cardiorespiratory reflexes. Sensory afferents release glutamate to initiate …

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

GABAergic neurones are interspersed throughout the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), and
their tonic activity is crucial to the maintenance of cardiorespiratory homeostasis. However …

Manipulations of vagal activity are used to treat medical pathologies, but the underlying CNS
changes caused by these treatments are not well understood. Furthermore, heart and lung …

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 …

Hindlimb unloading (HU) in rats induces cardiovascular deconditioning (CVD) analogous to
that observed in individuals exposed to microgravity or bed rest. Among other physiological …
