Mercury in the human adrenal medulla could contribute to increased plasma noradrenaline in aging [PDF]
Plasma noradrenaline levels increase with aging, and this could contribute to the sympathetic overactivity that is associated with essential hypertension and the metabolic syndrome.

The mind-body problem: Circuits that link the cerebral cortex to the adrenal medulla. [PDF]
Which regions of the cerebral cortex are the origin of descending commands that influence internal organs? We used transneuronal transport of rabies virus in monkeys and rats to identify regions of cerebral cortex that have multisynaptic connections with

Multipotent peripheral glial cells generate neuroendocrine cells of the adrenal medulla. [PDF]
Following the yellow brick road The adrenal glands affect a variety of processes such as stress responses and metabolism. The mature adrenal gland is formed from multiple tissue sources, including cells of neural origin. Furlan et al.

Basal and Stress-Induced Network Activity in the Adrenal Medulla In Vivo [PDF]
The adrenal medulla plays a critical role in mammalian homeostasis and the stress response. It is populated by clustered chromaffin cells that secrete epinephrine or norepinephrine along with peptides into the bloodstream affecting distant target organs.

SOX2+ sustentacular cells are stem cells of the postnatal adrenal medulla [PDF]
Renewal of the catecholamine-secreting chromaffin cell population of the adrenal medulla is necessary for physiological homeostasis throughout life. Definitive evidence for the presence or absence of an adrenomedullary stem cell has been enigmatic.

Serotonin and Serotonin Transporters in the Adrenal Medulla: A Potential Hub for Modulation of the Sympathetic Stress Response. [PDF]
Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system where it modulates circuits involved in mood, cognition, movement, arousal, and autonomic function.

Regulation of Blood Pressure by Sympathetic Nerve Fibers and Adrenal Medulla in Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats [PDF]
The respective roles of the sympathetic nerve fibers and adrenal medulla in the regulation of blood pressure and heart rate were studied in normotensive and hypertensive rats.
