TL;DR: Pharmacological evidence points at the involvement of CRF1 in enhanced sympathovagal antagonism, a pathological state contributing to elevated cardiac risk, whereas the physiological role of the brain CRF system in cardiovascular regulation remains to be determined.

TL;DR: Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) as discussed by the authors ) and the European Commission (EUC) are the main contributors to the work of this paper. But they are not involved in the work presented in this article.

TL;DR: A lesion model for the induction of death of analogous populations of CSN in these rodent species is established and axotomy-induced death ofCSN is observed in the center of the sensory motor cortex.

TL;DR: Instantaneous HR was studied in mice during exposure to novelty and the expression of fear conditioned to an auditory cue as affective challenge to characterize baseline dynamics and conditioned adjustments to learned fear, and non-linear analyses of neuroautonomic cardiac control provide for functionally adequate measures of dynamical properties.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in HTRs, only work loads up to 60% of the VO2max of CTLs may be attained; also, owing to the fast readjustment of Q, up to work loads of 75 to 100 W, the rest to work transition phase is not impaired.
