The central nervous system has a key role in regulating the circulatory system by modulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, pituitary hormone release, and the baroreceptor reflex ...

A single bout of dynamic exercise increases baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We examined whether change in hemodynamics (increases in blood pressure and heart ...

The baroreceptor reflex is a fascinating medical phenomenon. The reflex is controlled by specialized neurons that react in just a fraction of a second to keep blood pressure fairly consistent. For ...

New insight into how cells sense blood pressure could present better targets for treating hypertension. The baroreceptor reflex is a fascinating medical phenomenon. The reflex is controlled by ...

Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest a positive association between fine particulate matter and arterial blood pressure, but the results have been inconsistent. Objectives: We investigated the ...

Blood pressure modulates a person's tendency to worry and can be associated with a "tranquilizing" effect when elevated. This is indicated in a new study that reflects how we can implicitly learn to ...
