Key findings from this study demonstrate that blood pressure variability impairs baroreceptor reflex and impairs myogenic tone in brain arterioles, particularly at higher blood pressure. They also ...

This is an important study providing convincing evidence that increased blood pressure variability impairs myogenic tone and diminishes baroreceptor reflex. The study also provides evidence that blood ...

Baroreceptors in the carotid artery are of crucial importance in regulation of HR and BP. During spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension, this reflex may be paradoxically active. If hypotension is ...

The palmomental reflex, an involuntary contraction of the mentalis muscle of the chin caused by stimulation of the thenar eminence, can be tested easily and rapidly. Its presence may alert the ...

Homeostatic Control Through Active Inference as “Bayesian Reflexes” The conventional cybernetic view of homeostasis regards the brain's task as ensuring that its carrier (the body) inhabits a limited ...

The gastrocolic reflex is a physiological reflex that stimulates movement in your lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract after eating. It isn’t a disease or medical condition, but rather a normal response ...

A reflex is an automatic body movement that happens involuntarily in response to a stimulus. Healthcare providers sometimes test a person's reflexes as part of a routine or diagnostic exam. Overactive ...

The cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) is associated with modulation of cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis. In this mini review, we will briefly introduce cardiac autonomic anatomy ...
