Human responses to upright tilt: a window on central autonomic integration
William H. Cooke,Jeffrey B. Hoag,Alexandra A. Crossman,Tom Kuusela,Kari U. O. Tahvanainen,Dwain L. Eckberg +5 more
TL;DR: Tilt reduces respiratory gating of sympathetic and vagal motoneurone responsiveness to stimulatory inputs for different reasons; during tilt, sympathetic stimulation increases to a level that overwhelms the respiratory gate, andvagal stimulation decreases to alevel below that necessary for maximal respiratory gates to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory modulation of human autonomic rhythms
Leslie J. Badra,William H. Cooke,Jeffrey B. Hoag,Alexandra A. Crossman,Tom Kuusela,Kari U. O. Tahvanainen,Dwain L. Eckberg +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that correlations among autonomic and hemodynamic rhythms vary over time and frequency, and, thus, are facultative rather than fixed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nine months in space: effects on human autonomic cardiovascular regulation.
William H. Cooke,James E. Ames,Alexandra A. Crossman,James F. Cox,Tom Kuusela,Kari U. O. Tahvanainen,Boyce Moon,Jurgen Drescher,F. Baisch,Tadaaki Mano,Benjamin D. Levine,C. Gunnar Blomqvist,Dwain L. Eckberg +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that long-duration spaceflight reduces vagal-cardiac nerve traffic and decreases vagal baroreflex gain and that these changes may persist as long as 2 wk after return to Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex physiology studied in healthy subjects with very infrequent muscle sympathetic bursts.
André Diedrich,Alexandra A. Crossman,Larry A. Beightol,Kari U. O. Tahvanainen,Tom Kuusela,Andrew C. Ertl,Dwain L. Eckberg +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that 1) since infrequent human muscle sympathetic bursts are almost deterministically preceded by arterial pressure reductions, their occurrence likely reflects simple baroreflex physiology, and 2) the noninvasive low-frequency modulus reliably reproduces gains derived from R-R interval responses to arterial Pressure ramps triggered by infrequent Muscle sympathetic bursts.
