The vestibular system is known to participate in cardiovascular(see chapter by Yates in this volume). A vestibulo-sympathetic response is elicited by nose-up pitch stimulation of otolith receptors. When vestibular inputs are removed in an animal, there is a decreased ability to maintain normal blood pressure during nose-up tilt (ie, orthostatic hypotension). 2 Therefore, the vestibular system may play a critical role in making immediate compensatory changes in blood pressure during postural adjustments. The known brain-stem circuitry necessary for producing the vestibulo-sympathetic response involves part of the medial vestibular nucleus, adjacent inferior vestibular nucleus, and the rostra1 ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). The RVLM sends excitatory projections to sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the intermediolateral zone (IML) of the thoracic spinal cord. 3 Synaptic activation of sympathetic preganglionic neurons causes peripheral vasoconstriction, which results in an increase in systemic blood pressure!Electrophysiological studies have shown that signals are sent from the vestibular nuclei to the RVLM via a multisynaptic path~ ay.~ The purpose of this study was to identify which brain-stem interneurons relay labyrinthine signals to the RVLM. Experiments were performed in paralyzed, decerebrate cats. Lesions were made with the neurotoxin kainic acid in brain-stem areas known to influence cardiovascular regulation. These areas include the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the parabrachial nucleus (PBN), the lateral tegmental field (LTF), and the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). Cells in the NTS receive afferent input from carotid sinus stretch receptors. 6 This information concerning arterial wall stretch is then sent, in part, from the NTS to the CVLM. Neurons in the CVLM, in turn, send inhibitory projections to the RVLM. 7 Thus, when CVLM neurons are active the excitatory drive to IML neurons drops and peripheral vasoconstriction decreases. The PBN relays signals from higher brain centers, such as the amygdala and lateral and paraventricular areas of the hypothalamus (which are known to participate in cardiovascular regulation), to the RVLM. 8 The LTF provides tonic input to cells in the RVLM and partially regulates certain rhythm components of sympathetic nerve di~ charge.~.'~
