The locus coeruleus is emerging as a major new area of research interest, with many important functions such as regulating ...

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has a significant influence on the structural integrity and electrical conductivity of the atria. Aberrant activation of the sympathetic nervous system can induce ...

During stress, the sympathetic nervous system releases norepinephrine, which weakens macrophages' ability to reduce inflammation by impairing their cleanup of dead cells. "Our findings suggest ...

cardiac sympathetic nerve activity, myocardial fibrosis, left ventricular remodeling, hypokalemia, diuresis, natriuresis, pulmonary congestion, edema, blood pressure and weight compared with ...

The nervous system is the body’s command centre and we rely on it to survive. It guides almost everything we think, feel, and do by allowing the body to process and respond to information. With that ...

When researchers blocked the ability of macrophages to respond to norepinephrine, the stress-induced worsening of allergic reactions ... “This study is the first in the world to demonstrate that ...

When you experience this reaction, your body is responding to a perceived threat. The body reacts with a cascade of physical changes that result from the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, ...

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia ...

Norepinephrine release mediates vasoconstriction of the renal vasculature ... The important role of afferent renal nerves on overall sympathetic nervous system activity in kidney disease is well ...
