Key result
Direct recordings from deep brain stimulating electrodes suggest the periaqueductal grey area acts as an integrating center for cardiovascular control during the anticipation and execution of exercise.
The periaqueductal grey area may serve as a key integrating center for cardiovascular control and the exercise pressor reflex in humans.

May inform exercise pressor reflex mechanisms; leaves open periaqueductal grey as neuromodulation target.
Green et al. (2008) conducted a review in Chronic pain. Deep brain stimulation was evaluated. Direct recordings from deep brain stimulating electrodes suggest the periaqueductal grey area acts as an integrating center for cardiovascular control during the anticipation and execution of exercise.
