The olfactory bulb: an ignored brain structure in the regulation of cardiovascular activity
Numerous studies have addressed the participation of the central nervous system in the physiological regulation of blood pressure and in the development and/or maintenance of hypertension.

| Sumario: | Numerous studies have addressed the participation of the central nervous system in the physiological regulation of blood pressure and in the development and/or maintenance of hypertension. The central nervous system plays a key role in the short-term regulation of blood pressure although recent investigations also support its participation in the long-term modulation. Diverse brain regions and areas like the rostral ventrolateral medulla, the nucleus of the solitary tract, the locus coeruleus, amygdala and hypothalamus are intimately involved in the control of cardiovascular activity. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of the olfactory bulb. This mini review summarizes current knowledge regarding the participation of this telencephalic region in the regulation of cardiovascular activity in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. |
