Carotid sinus nerve electrical stimulation in conscious rats attenuates systemic inflammation via chemoreceptor activation

Abstract Recent studies demonstrated a critical functional connection between the autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) nervous and the immune systems. The carotid sinus nerve (CSN) conveys electrical signals from the chemoreceptors of the carotid bifurcation to the central nervous system wher...
