Bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and the ensuing vasoconstriction are pivotal determinants of beat-by-beat blood pressure regulation. Although age and sex impact blood pressure regulation, how these factors affect the central and peripheral arcs of the baroreflex remains unclear. In 27 young [25 (SD 3) yr] males (YM; = 14) and females (YF; = 13) and 23 older [71 (SD 5) yr] males (OM; = 11) and females (OF; = 12), femoral artery blood flow, blood pressure, and MSNA were recorded for 10 min of supine rest.

Purpose: Spontaneous sympathetic transduction reflects the vascular and/or pressor responses to bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Separately, signal-averaging and regression-based approaches have been implemented to quantify resting sympathetic transduction. It is unknown whether the outcomes of these analytical approaches provide (dis)similar information, which is imperative for between-study comparisons and the amalgamation of results for synthesis of multiple studies (i.

Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) affects vascular resistance differently in women and men. However, whether this sex difference persists during pronounced increases in MSNA remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine sex differences in neurovascular transduction during cold pressor test (CPT)-mediated sympathoexcitation.

The mechanism of vestibular syncope, the syncope occurring during the vertigo attacks, remains uncertain. This study aims to clarify the mechanism of vestibular syncope by pursuing the function of vestibular system in cardiovascular autonomic control and by defining neuro-hemodynamic changes in vestibular syncope. By integrating the velocity-storage (VS) circuit in the brainstem and cerebellum, we propose that the vestibular syncope develops as a result of dyssynergia of the vestibulosympathetic and baroreflexes in which centrally estimated downward inertial acceleration during the vertigo attacks acts as a trigger.
