Microneurography is a valuable technique for recording sympathetic neural discharge and understanding factors affecting cardiovascular control.
Microneurography may refine research on sympathetic cardiovascular control; leaves open clinical translation pending prospective studies.
This article discusses the technique of microneurography and its limitations. Stimuli capable of changing sympathetic neural discharge, recorded from peripheral nerves in conscious subjects, are noted. The notion that both internal and external stimuli can alter sympathetic activity should encourage psychophysiologists to examine these factors as possible elements used by subjects to process signals representing a component of autonomic behavior.
