 | | The sensitivity of the arterial baroreceptor reflex changes during the early postnatal period, and the efficacy of glutamatergic synaptic transmission between baroreceptor afferents and second-order neurons in the brainstem is determined by the frequency of baroreceptor afferent firing. | | | The arterial baroreceptors play a critical role in the reflex control of arterial blood pressure. | | | The sensory component of the reflex consists of 1) primary sensory neurons located in the cranial nodose-petrosal ganglion (NPG) complex, and 2) sensory-relay neurons in the brainstem. |

| | The Baroreceptor Reflex |
| | However, you still want to be nice to your Baroreceptor Reflex, because it actually works day-to-day, minute-to-minute, second-to-second to make sure that blood flow to the brain and the pressure of blood reaching the brain are kept within homeostatic limits. | | | The problem with trying to treat neurogenic shock is that the baroreceptor reflex can't help maintain adequate blood flow to the brain, because the Vasomotor Center isn't functioning and therefore can't increase cardiac output or even shunt blood away from other, less O | | | The response to postural changes (standing, sitting, lying down, kneeling, etc.) is probably the single most important function of the baroreceptor reflex during your life span. |

| | Structural Versus Functional Modulation of the Arterial Baroreflex -- Chapleau et al. 26 (2): 341 -- Hypertension |
| | The defect in the baroreflex with aging is not the result of reduced baroreceptor activity and is ascribed to a central impairment in the mediation of the reflex. | | | This suggests that baroreceptor resetting in hypertensive animals is not caused by the structural changes but rather by functionally reversible changes. | | | Aortic wall properties and baroreceptor behavior at normal arterial pressure and in acute hypertensive resetting in dogs. |

| | The most important point to remember about the baroreceptor reflex is that it is a rapidly acting nervous mechanism for blood pressure control. | | | IN contrast, the baroreceptor-nervous system reflex (in red below) works the fastest but become useless within a day. | | | However you should realize that other baroreceptors stimulate responses that change the output and quality of urine from the kidneys via the actions of several hormones such as angiotensin and aldosterone. |

| | The baroreceptor reflex is a key mechanism of blood pressure regulation. | | | Major goals of the research program are to define the molecular mechanisms influencing mechanoelectrical transduction and neuronal excitability in baroreceptor neurons, and to delineate mechanisms responsible for excessive sympathetic nerve activity and decreased baroreflex sensitivity in pathological states (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis) and in aging. | | | Ma X, Abboud FM, and Chapleau MW: Analysis of Afferent, Central, and Efferent Components of the Baroreceptor Reflex in Mice. |
