		This causes the cardiac function curve to shift up and to the left (not shown in figure).
		Adding to this afterload effect is the influence of enhanced sympathetic stimulation due to a baroreceptor reflex in response to the fall in arterial pressure, which increases heart rate and inotropy.
		Although not shown in this figure, reduced cardiac output causes a fall in arterial pressure, which reduces afterload on the left ventricle and leads to baroreceptor reflex responses, both of which can shift the cardiac function curve up and to the left.

		Arterial baroreceptors are arterial pressure sensors, located on the walls of the carotid sinuses and aortic arch.
		Baroreceptors send afferent signals to the cardiovascular control center to modulate autonomic activity as a function of arterial pressure.
		Through the integrated activities of the baroreceptors and autonomic efferent outflow, the inverse relationship between arterial pressure and heart rate is regulated on a second-by-second basis.

		Together, these results suggest that noradrenergic neurons in the LC participate in the baroreflex activation of the DBB and may thus be important in the baroreflex inhibition of vasopressin-releasing neurons in the supraoptic nucleus.

		Structural changes in large arteries are often considered the predominant mechanism responsible for decreased baroreflex sensitivity and baroreceptor resetting in hypertension, atherosclerosis, and aging.
		We have conducted both reductive studies of mechanoelectrical transduction in cultured baroreceptor neurons and integrative studies with in vivo recordings of the activity of baroreceptor afferent fibers and efferent sympathetic nerves.
		Baroreceptor nerve activity is modulated by the activity of potassium channels and the sodium-potassium pump and by paracrine factors, including prostacyclin, oxygen free radicals, and factors released from aggregating platelets.

	Head-Heart Entrainment: A Preliminary Survey
		For example, when one's mental or emotional state is causing the sympathetic system to be overdriven in stressful situations, the baroreceptor feedback inhibits sympathetic outflow, increases parasympathetic neuronal activity [7], causes brain wave slowing [14] and cortical inhibition [15] in order to protect the overall system.
		The baroreceptor input to the brain is also responsible for the 0.1 Hz rhythms seen in reticular neuronal activity in the brain stem and the cardiac rhythms seen in the sympathetic outflow to the body [7].
		Independent brain oscillator capability in the ~0.1 Hz range appears to exist as illustrated in Figure 2a before FF; however, strong baroreceptor signals appear to be able to resonate these brain oscillation modes to greater amplitudes.

		METHODS: Chronotropic baroreceptor reflex (by sequential analysis) and cardiovascular stress responses were recorded during postural (5-minute of active standing) and cognitive (speech task) stress testing in patients with CFS grouped into cases with severe (N = 21) or less severe (N = 22) illness, and in 29 matched control subjects.
		RESULTS: Patients with CFS had a greater decline in baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) during standing, although only those with severe CFS were significantly different from the controls.
		In contrast, the patients with less severe CFS had blunted increases in blood pressure during the speech task, which could not, however, be explained by inadequate inhibition of the baroreceptor reflex, with all groups showing an appropriate reduction in BRS during the task.

		Since arterial baroreceptor and skeletal muscle receptor afferents project to cardiovascular regions in the lower brainstem, such as the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), it is likely that the level of baroreceptor afferent input will modify the excitatory cardiovascular responses evoked by contraction-sensitive skeletal muscle afferents.
		The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of carotid sinus baroreceptor afferent input (CSA) on reflex heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses evoked by activation of skeletal muscle receptor afferents (SMA).
		Moreover, our findings substantiate early studies showing that the level of afferent input from arterial baroreceptors is a powerful modulator of sympathoexcitation evoked by mechanically and metabolically-sensitive skeletal muscle receptors.

	OHSU School of Dentistry - Biological Structure and Function
		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.
		BDNF is highly expressed in the NPG complex, including baroreceptor afferents, and the magnitude of BDNF release from NPG neurons is strongly regulated by the frequency and pattern of neuronal activity.
		The long-term goal of these studies is to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for activity-dependent development and plasticity in the arterial baroreceptor pathway that may be relevant to developmental and other disorders of cardiovascular control, such as orthostatic hypotension.

	The Baroreceptor Reflex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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
		Then, even if the patient recovers from the initial cause of the shock, death from failure of the kidneys or other organs such as those that comprise the gastrointestinal system is a probable outcome.
		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.
