Sympathetic neural activity
This review outlines the physiological mechanisms of sympathetic neural control of the cardiovascular system, highlighting sex differences and age-related changes in how sympathetic activity influences blood pressure.
Cite This Study
Charkoudian et al. (2014) conducted a review in Cardiovascular physiology. Sympathetic neural activity was evaluated. Sympathetic neural activity is a key integrator of cardiovascular function, exhibiting large interindividual variability that influences blood pressure regulation differently across age and sex.
