Parasympathetic alteration during sub-clinical seizures [PDF]
, 2012 IntroductionAutonomic instability is considered a contributing factor in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The aim of this pilot study was to measure parasympathetic activity in sub-clinical seizures to investigate autonomic instability ...

The Role of Central Oxytocin in Autonomic Regulation
Journal of Physiological InvestigationOxytocin (OXT), a neuropeptide originating from the hypothalamus and traditionally associated with peripheral functions in parturition and lactation, has emerged as a pivotal player in the central regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Parasympathetic ganglia derive from Schwann cell precursors
, 2014 Neural crest cells migrate extensively and give rise to most of the peripheral nervous system, including sympathetic, parasympathetic, enteric, and dorsal root ganglia.

Parasympathetic innervation of vertebrobasilar arteries:is this a potential clinical target? [PDF]
, 2016 This review aims to summarise the contemporary evidence for the presence and function of the parasympathetic innervation of the cerebral circulation with emphasis on the vertebral and basilar arteries (the posterior cerebral circulation).

Dissociation of heart rate variability from parasympathetic tone
, 1994 Time and frequency domain measurements of heart rate variability have been used as indexes of parasympathetic tone. This study evaluates the effects of parasympathetic stimulation on these indexes. Ten normal subjects (5 females, 5 males; age 27.4 +/- 5.

Sympathetic and parasympathetic central autonomic networks [PDF]
The central-autonomic network (CAN) comprises brain regions that are functionally linked to the activity of peripheral autonomic nerves. While parasympathetic CAN (i.e., the CAN projecting onto parasympathetic branches) has recently been investigated and
