Role of paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in central cardiovascular regulation in the cat

J. Ciriello and F. R. Calaresu

To investigate the role of the paraventricular (PAH) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei in regulation of the cardiovascular system experiments were done in 26 cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated. Electrical stimulation of histologically verified sites in the region of the PAH and SON elicited increases in arterial pressure in bilaterally vagotomized animals and increases in heart rate both in spinal (C2) animals and in animals bilaterally vagotomized, In addition, stimulation of either the PAH or SON inhibited the reflex vagal bradycardia elicited by stimulation of the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) and bilateral lesions of these areas increased the magnitude of the response. On the other hand, stimulation and lesions of these hypothalamic regions did not alter the magnitude of the cardiovascular responses to stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve. These results demonstrate that stimulation of the PAH and SON elicit cardiovascular responses due to reciprocal changes in activity of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and that these structures maintain a tonic inhibitory influence on the heart rate component of the CSN reflex.
