Research into cardiac autonomic control has received great interest in the past 20 years,
and we are now at a critical juncture with regard to the clinical translation of the experimental …

Autonomic nervous system adjustments to the heart and blood vessels are necessary for
mediating the cardiovascular responses required to meet the metabolic demands of working …

Blood flow (BF) increases with increasing exercise intensity in skeletal, respiratory, and
cardiac muscle. In humans during maximal exercise intensities, 85% to 90% of total cardiac …

The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is an anatomic and functional interface between the
forebrain and the lower brainstem and has a major role in integrated behavioral responses …

During exercise by healthy mammals, alveolar ventilation and alveolar‐capillary diffusion
increase in proportion to the increase in metabolic rate to prevent PaCO2 from increasing …

Neuronal elements distributed throughout the cardiac nervous system, from the level of the
insular cortex to the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, are in constant communication with …

Psychologically stressful experiences evoke changes in cardiovascular physiology that may
influence risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). But what are the neural circuits and …

This textbook focuses on the relationship between physical exercise and cognition, a very
timely and important topic with major theoretical and practical implications for a number of …

In the past decade, efforts to improve blood pressure control have looked beyond
conventional approaches of lifestyle modification and drug therapy to embrace …

Exercise including locomotion requires appropriate autonomic cardiovascular adjustments
to meet the metabolic demands of contracting muscles, yet the functional brain architecture …
