5HT2 Receptor Activation Facilitates P2X Receptor Mediated Excitatory Neurotransmission to Cardiac Vagal Neurons in the Nucleus Ambiguus

Parasympathetic preganglionic cardiac vagal neurons (CVNs) which dominate the control of heart rate are located within the nucleus ambiguus (NA). Serotonin (5HT), and in particular 5HT2 receptors, play an important role in cardiovascular function in the brainstem. However, there is a lack of informa...
