Funded Activity Summary

Adequate blood pressure is necessary for normal function. High blood pressure occurs in a proportion of the human population and causes many diseases such as stroke and heart failure. The factors producing high blood pressure are not known for most people who have this condition. We are investigating the role of the brain in the regulation of blood pressure and in this application we are testing whether increased activity in certain brain regions can cause high blood pressure.
