A major challenge in neuroscience today is to decipher the operating principle of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in the same straightforward way that biologists have come to understand the functions of other organs and organ systems (e.g., the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, and so on). The argument here has been that the function of nervous systems is to make, maintain, and modify neural associations that ultimately promote survival and reproduction in a world that sensory systems can’t apprehend. In this way, we and other animals can link the subjective domain of perception to successful behavior without ever recovering the properties of the world. Neural function on a wholly empirical basis may be the key to understanding how brains operate.

This article investigates consistency in the work of the heart and blood vessels in vascular diseases of a vertebrogenic and non-vertebrogenic nature, which are characterized by disorders of the cardiovascular system leading to an insuffi cient blood supply to the spinal cord and the brain. Vertebrogenic vascular pathologies were studied by the example of vertebral artery disorders in osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, while non-vertebrogenic pathologies were considered in the syndrome of somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. It is shown that, compared to the norm, the degree of consistence in the work of the heart and blood vessels is lower in vertebrogenic and non-vertebrogenic vascular pathologies.

The Brain

Immediately following spaceflight, many astronauts are unable to maintain adequate perfusion of the brain after assuming an upright posture; this condition is called post-spaceflight orthostatic intolerance (PSOI). Considerable evidence shows that inputs from otolith organs and other graviceptors play an important role in regulating blood pressure during changes in posture in a 1-g environment. However, reflexes elicited by graviceptors, presumably including those affecting the cardiovascular system, are attenuated during spaceflight. Thus, PSOI could be related to effects of microgravity on the processing of inputs from otolith organs and other graviceptors by the central vestibular system. It is likely that successful countermeasures for PSOI must address the plastic changes induced in the nervous system by changes in the patterns of graviceptive inputs that occur during spaceflight.

Postganglionic Nerve

A technique for isolating and recording from single fibers in the thoracic spinal canal permits access to the entire preganglionic outflow of the thoracic spinal cord of the cat. In the cat rendered comatose by the selective destruction of the brain stem, there are two interchangeable patterns of impulse activity which reflect the level of systemic blood pressure. Periodic bursts of high-frequency discharge, synchronous with the respiratory cycle, are replaced by continuous activity when increased sympathetic discharge to the cardiovascular system is evoked by hypothalamic stimulation or by reflex mechanisms. The data suggest that impulse pattern as well as frequency of stimulation may be a factor of importance in the sympathetic organ response to direct stimulation of the innervating postganglionic nerve.

Abstract Filamins are scaffold proteins for signaling proteins and adhesion molecules, and mutations in filamin A (FLNa) cause a wide range of defects in the brain, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, and skeleton, as well as in megakaryocytes. Rosa and colleagues review the important role of FLNa in platelet development and its critical importance to proplatelet production by megakaryocytes.

Androgens, the male sex hormones, exert various biological effects on many target organs through the transcriptional effects of the nuclear androgen receptor (AR). ARs are expressed not only in classical target organs, such as the brain, genital organs, bone, and skeletal muscles, but also in the cardiovascular system. Because the female sex hormones estrogens are well-known to protect against cardiovascular disease, sex has been considered to have a significant clinical impact on cardiovascular mortality. However, the influence of androgens on the cardiovascular system has not been fully elucidated. To clarify this issue, we analyzed the effects of administration of angiotensin II and doxorubicin, an anticancer agent, in a loading model in male wild-type and AR-deficient mice. In this review, we focus on the actions of androgens as potential targets for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in males.
