The classical literature on neurocardiology has focused mainly on the subcortical regions of
the central autonomic nervous system. However, recent studies have supported the notion …

The Olympic biathlon is a very demanding physical event that requires high oxygen delivery,

Cortical representation of the heart challenges the orthodox view that cardiac regulation is
confined to stereotyped, preprogrammed and rigid responses to exteroceptive or …

There has been a large confirmation over the last decades that stroke may produce cardiac
changes (echocardiographic, electrocardiographic, enzymatic). In ischemic stroke, systolic …

Background: Autonomic dysregulation is frequent in acute ischemic stroke. Several studies
concluded that imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiovascular …

The sympathetic-related regions of the cerebral cortex were identified in rats after
pseudorabies virus injections were made in functionally different targets: adrenal gland …

The periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) projections to the intralaminar and midline thalamic
nuclei were examined in rats. Phaseolus vulgaris‐leucoagglutinin (PHA‐L) was injected in …

Physiological homeostasis depends upon adequate integration and responsiveness of
