The term “sympathetic nervous system overload” sounds daunting, but the root cause is pedestrian: stress. Stress is, of course, something we all experience all the time, but left unchecked, it can ...

The results of a study conducted in Brazil suggest that the sympathetic nervous system - the part of the autonomous nervous system that controls responses to danger or stress - can modulate the action ...

The sympathetic nervous system was thought to have evolved with jawed vertebrates. But lampreys—jawless, parasitic fish that suck out the blood of their hosts—have a simple one, per recent research.

Researchers have created a digital topographical map of the cardiac sympathetic neural network, the region that controls the body's heart rate and its 'fight-or-flight' response. They hope this map ...

The sympathetic nervous system, not white blood cells, is critically important in the regulation of energy expenditure and thermogenesis, researchers reveal in a new report. A new study from the Icahn ...

Introduction The pathophysiology of tendon pain is not fully understood, although preliminary data indicates involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Large prospective studies identify ...

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and collaborating institutions have found that overnutrition leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders through increased activity of the ...

With terrifyingly sharp teeth arranged around a circular mouth, lampreys look about as primitive a vertebrate as you could imagine. But a new study finds that the animals have a surprising similarity ...

Yale researchers have determined how a key component of the nervous system develops at the embryonic stage. Their work, published June 11 in Cell Reports online, may ultimately offer new approaches to ...
