Over the last 20 years, it has become clear that many functionally defined autonomic
neurons in the brainstem contain many more than one neurotransmitter. Here, the possible …

Our aim is to consolidate recent data on relationship between central serotonergic
neurotransmission and stress-elicited cardiovascular changes. Activation of central of 5 …

Abstract Brain serotonin (5-HT) is produced by hindbrain neurons localized in the raphe
nuclei. Although these neurons share a common molecular identity and some structural and …

The present study was designed to record electrophysiological responses to graded noxious
thermal stimuli of serotonergic and nonserotonergic neurons in the lateral …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 115, 1579–1594. Abstract The deletion of microtubule‐associated
protein stable tubule only polypeptide (STOP) leads to neuroanatomical, biochemical and …

The ventrolateral medulla oblongata (VLM) of the brainstem contains neurochemically
heterogeneous neurons that have a critical role in cardiovascular and respiratory regulation …

Non‐technical summary Defence reactions are physiological responses to imminent danger.
They include increased blood pressure and heart rate, and a reduction in the reflex cardiac …

Social behaviors in vertebrates are modulated by catecholamine (CA; dopamine,
norepinephrine, epinephrine) release within the social behavior neural network. Few studies …

Serotonin plays a modulatory role in central control of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in the medulla is an area of viscerosomatic integration …

Background and Purpose Activation of the defence reaction inhibits the baroreflex response
