Abstract Previous work in fishes considers undulation as a means of propulsion without addressing how it may affect other functions such as sensing and respiration. Here we show that undulation can optimize propulsion, flow sensing and respiration concurrentl…

Abstract The crucial role of the immune system in hypertension is now widely recognized. We previously reported that hypertensive challenges couple the nervous drive with immune system activation, but the physiological and molecular mechanisms of this connect…

Although cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is known to be fundamental in the control of normal brain function, there have been no previous long-term measurements in animal models. The aim of this study was to explore the stability and viability of long-term re…
Expansion of physiological knowledge increasingly requires examination of processes in the normal, conscious state. The current study describes a novel approach combining surgical implantation of radio-telemeters with vascular access ports (VAPs) to allow repe…
Exercise including locomotion requires appropriate autonomic cardiovascular adjustments to meet the metabolic demands of contracting muscles, yet the functional brain architecture underlying these adjustments remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate brainstem cir…
The classic dogma of cerebral autoregulation is that cerebral blood flow is steadily maintained across a wide range of perfusion pressures. This has been challenged by recent studies suggesting little to no 'autoregulatory plateau' in the relationship between…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe impairment in cardiovascular control, commonly manifested as a rapid, uncontrolled rise in blood pressure triggered by peripheral stimuli—a condition called autonomic dysreflexia. The objective was to demonstrate the tr…

Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces haemodynamic instability that threatens survival1,2,3, impairs neurological recovery4,5, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease6,7, and reduces quality of life8,9. Haemodynamic instability in this context is due…
Background: Treprostinil palmitil (TP) is an inhaled long-acting pulmonary vasodilator prodrug of treprostinil (TRE) that has been formulated for delivery as a suspension (treprostinil palmitil inhalation suspension; TPIS) and as a dry powder (treprostinil pal…
