Magnocellular oxytocin and vasopressin cells are among the most extensively studied
neurons in the brain; their large size and high synthetic capacity, their discrete …

Due to its pivotal role in autonomic networks and interoception, the vagus attracts continued
interest from both basic scientists and therapists of various clinical disciplines. In particular …

This chapter presents a detailed mapping of the termination sites of aortic and carotid
baroreceptor and carotid chemoreceptor afferent fibers in the nucleus tractus solitaries …

This book presents a new homeostatic theory of stress and distress and uses it to explain
how systems using the endogenous catecholamines—norepinephrine, epinephrine, and …

Due to its pivotal role in autonomic networks, the vagus attracts continuous interest from both
basic scientists and clinicians. In particular, recent advances in vagus nerve stimulation …

A complete understanding of the neural mechanisms responsible for the chemoreceptor and
baroreceptor reflexes requires precise knowledge of the locations and chemical phenotypes …

Brainstem projections of the aortic nerve in the rat were studied using the transganglionic
transport of horseradish peroxidase. Labeled axons were found to project predominantly to …

Pressure injections of the anterograde tracer wheat germ agglutinin conjugated with
horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) into the infralimbic (IL) and prelimbic (PL) regions of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the current literature relating to the afferent
innervation of the NTS from cardiopulmonary receptors and the arterial baroreceptors and …

The amygdala and orbital cotex are thought to play an important role in the regulation of
autonomic functions, hormonal secretion, and behavioral expression in response to sensory …
