Baroreceptor stimulation alters cortical activity.
The arterial baroreceptors constitute an essential sensory link for the short-term regulation of blood pressure and may also influence higher cortical function. The present study was undertaken to evaluate previous reports of such a cortical influence under conditions of psychologically controlled, mechanical baroreceptor stimulation. This control was achieved by use of PRES (phase-related exte...
متن کاملTheta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation alters cortical inhibition.
Human cortical excitability can be modified by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), but the cellular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that the pattern of delivery of theta-burst stimulation (TBS) (continuous versus intermittent) differently modifies electric activity and protein expression in the rat neocortex. Intermittent TBS (iTBS), but not continuous TBS (cTBS),...
متن کاملReliability of cortical activity during natural stimulation.
Response reliability is complementary to more conventional measurements of response amplitudes, and can reveal phenomena that response amplitudes do not. Here we review studies that measured reliability of cortical activity within or between human subjects in response to naturalistic stimulation (e.g. free viewing of movies). Despite the seemingly uncontrolled nature of the task, some of these ...
متن کاملResistant Hypertension Treatment through Carotid Baroreceptor Stimulation
A significant number of hypertensive subjects fail to achieve adequate blood pressure control despite adherence to maximal doses of several antihypertensive drugs. Electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus is a new and interesting approach to the treatment of resistant hypertension. The purpose of this paper is to overview the argument starting from the historical physiological background to ...
متن کاملBaroreceptor stimulation: pain perception and sensory thresholds.
Baroreceptor activity has been implicated in the modulation of pain. Sensory detection thresholds and pain ratings were measured in a group of 28 men during carotid baroreceptor manipulation with the PRES (phase-related external suction) neck suction technique. Brief, cardiac phase-related electrical impulses were delivered intracutaneously to the finger. The results indicate that minimum baror...
