Abstract

This FASEB Science Research Conference will include a wide range of topics that impact neural regulation of cardiovascular and respiratory function including mood and anxiety disorders, immune function and autoimmunity, metabolic factors related to diabetes and obesity, novel angiotensin signaling mechanisms, and beneficial and detrimental effects of exposure to hypoxia. By exploring the intimate interactions of neurons and glia, the conference will also explore non-neuronal mechanisms related to neural control of cardiovascular function. The conference will bring together pioneering established researchers with junior researchers of the next generation to interact in poster sessions, panel discussions, and social gatherings to promote future exploration of neural regulation of cardiovascular function.
