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 ...

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 ...

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?

New research suggests that young women with a family history of high blood pressure (hypertension) have decreased baroreflex function, which may increase their risk for hypertension later in life. The ...

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 ...
