HYPOTHALAMIC MEDIATION OF ACUTE INCREASES IN ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE AND RENAL SYMPATHETIC NERVE ACTIVITY DURING ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE LAMINA TEMRINALIS
Discrete electrical stimulation of the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) produces sympathetically-mediated increases in peripheral resistance and arterial blood pressure (ABP). Since efferent fibers from the lamina terminalis innervate the kidney through polysynaptic connections, th...
