Neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) play key roles in physiological responses
to exteroceptive (“emotional”) stress in rats, including tachycardia. Tachycardia evoked from …

Emotional stress provokes a stereotyped pattern of autonomic and endocrine changes that
is highly conserved across diverse mammalian species. Nearly 50 years ago, a specific …

The axonal projections of the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus were investigated
by using Phaseolous vulgaris‐leucoagglutinin. The main conclusion of this work is that …

A previous study in the rat revealed that distinct orbital and medial prefrontal cortical
(OMPFC) areas projected to specific columns of the midbrain periaqueductal gray region …

Disinhibition of neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) by microinjection of the
GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline methiodide (BMI) elicits a range of autonomic and …

The brain has a complex structure composed of hundreds of regions, forming networks to
cooperate body functions. Therefore, understanding how various brain regions …

Both the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and the paraventricular hypothalamic
nucleus (PVN) have been implicated in the neural control of the cardiovascular response to …

The prevalence and severity of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are exacerbated by chronic
stress exposure. While stress-induced sympathetic activity and elevated glucocorticoid …

The hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is the critical mediator of the vertebrate
stress response system, responding to environmental stressors by maintaining internal …

The purpose of the present study was to determine the overall cardiovascular and
sympathetic nervous system responses to stimulation of neuronal cell bodies in the …
