The anatomy of the baroreceptor reflex

Abstract

Soohong et al. (2019) reveal a class of vagal afferents—defined by Piezo2 expression—that innervate the aorta and function to sense blood pressure fluctuations. Their study describes the morphologies and role of these neurons in vascular regulation. : Soohong et al.
