Introduction: The baroreceptor reflex mediated heart rate response is generally estimated by complex cross-spectral analysis (transfer function gain) between R-R interval and systolic blood pressure ...

Winter’s up ahead, and low temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict and increase blood pressure (BP). The question is how these mechanical changes in blood vessels are translated to the brain?

Introduction: The baroreceptor reflex (BR) is the most prominent short-term compensator during blood pressure (BP) challenges. Aim: To study the effect of postconceptional age (PCA, gestational age + ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pharmacology researchers found that a recently identified enzyme in the brain plays a critically important role in the central regulation of blood pressure. The researchers showed that ...

The physiologic mechanisms involved in the human's adaptation to endurance exercise training result in the endurance exercise trained individual having high maximal oxygen uptakes (V͘O2max) and being ...

Gerald K. Weiss Gerald K. Weiss, 85, died on September 21, 2025 after a long illness. Jerry and his wife of 62 years, Joann, had moved to a retirement community in Santa Fe, New Mexico after living in ...

New Orleans, LA – Huijing Xia, PhD, a postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Eric Lazartigues, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the lead ...

Dangerously low blood pressure is considered an "invisible" consequence of paralysis, adding to the woes of as many as 9 out of 10 people with spinal cord injuries. Now, a new implant has been ...

Two proteins -- PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 that sense blood pressure and help control the baroreceptor reflex have been discovered by scientists at Scripps Research. The baroreceptor reflex is a fascinating ...
