High blood pressure is a very significant risk factor for many common cardiovascular diseases. Blood pressure is normally tightly regulated by groups of neurons in the brainstem; although we know that this part of the brain becomes dysfunctional in patients with high blood pressure, we do not understand why. We have recently discovered that cardiovascular control neurons can influence each other. The project will determine the effect of such communication in the control of blood pressure.

高血压是许多常见心血管疾病的一个非常重要的危险因素。血压通常由脑干中的神经元群严格控制；尽管我们知道高血压患者的这一部分大脑会变得功能失调，但我们不明白原因。我们最近发现，心血管控制神经元可以相互影响。该项目将确定这种交流在控制血压方面的效果。
