The complex contribution of NOS interneurons in the physiology of cerebrovascular regulation

The complex contribution of NOS interneurons in the physiology of cerebrovascular regulation

Following the discovery of the vasorelaxant properties of nitric oxide (NO) by Furchgott and Ignarro, the finding by Bredt and coll. of a constitutively expressed NO synthase in neurons (nNOS) led to the presumption that neuronal NO may control cerebrovascular functions. Consequently, numerous studi...
