Inhibitory Vasomotor Neurons in the Caudal Ventrolateral Medulla Oblongata

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

Tonically active, probably GABAergic, neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla oblongata decrease sympathetic vasomotor tone by directly inhibiting sympathoexcitatory premotor neurons in the rostral medulla. These caudal inhibitory vasomotor neurons may constitute the inhibitory link in the central baroreceptor-vasomotor pathway.
