Sex Differences in Insular Cortex Gyri Responses to the Valsalva Maneuver
Sex differences in autonomic regulation may underlie cardiovascular disease variations between females and males. One key autonomic brain region is the insular cortex, which typically consists of five main gyri in each hemisphere, and shows a topographical organization of autonomic function across those gyri. The present study aims to identify possible sex differences in organization of autonom...
متن کاملRenal vascular responses to static handgrip: role of muscle mechanoreflex.
During exercise, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, which causes vasoconstriction. The autonomic mechanisms responsible for this vasoconstriction vary based on the particular tissue being studied. Attempts to examine reflex control of the human renal circulation have been difficult because of technical limitations. In this report, the Doppler technique was used to examine renal flow v...
متن کاملStructural Differences in Insular Cortex Reflect Vicarious Injustice Sensitivity
Sensitivity to injustice inflicted on others is a strong motivator of human social behavior. There are, however, enormous individual differences in vicarious injustice sensitivity. Some people are strongly affected when witnessing injustice, while others barely notice it, but the factors behind this heterogeneity are poorly understood. Here we examine the neuroanatomical basis of these differen...
متن کاملSex differences in the modulation of vasomotor sympathetic outflow during static handgrip exercise in healthy young humans.
Sex differences in sympathetic neural control during static exercise in humans are few and the findings are inconsistent. We hypothesized women would have an attenuated vasomotor sympathetic response to static exercise, which would be further reduced during the high sex hormone [midluteal (ML)] vs. the low hormone phase [early follicular (EF)]. We measured heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), ...
متن کاملVestibular and Visual Responses in Human Posterior Insular 13 Cortex
36 The central hub of the cortical vestibular network in humans is likely localized in the region 37 of posterior lateral sulcus. An area characterized by responsiveness to visual motion has 38 previously been described at a similar location and named posterior insular cortex (PIC). 39 Currently it is not known whether PIC processes vestibular information as well. We localized 40 PIC using visu...
