Lateral Preoptic Area Neurons Activated by Angiotensin-(1–7) Increase Intravesical Pressure: A Novel Feature in Central Micturition Control

Central micturition control and urine storage involve a multisynaptic neuronal circuit for the efferent control of the urinary bladder. Electrical stimulation of the lateral preoptic area (LPA) at the level of the decussation of the anterior commissure in cats evokes relaxation of the bladder, where...
