The chronic influence of sympathetic nerves on cerebral vessels is age-related. 1983

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chronic sympathetic denervation on cerebral vessels of the spontaneously hypertensive rat when superior cervical ganglionectomy was performed in adulthood. In a previous study, we have demonstrated increased protein transfer across the cerebral vessels of the chronically denervated hemisphere when superior cervical ganglionectomy was performed in adolescent spontaneously hypertensive rats. After four weeks of sympathetic denervation, the adult rats in this study did not demonstrate increased protein transfer in the denervated compared to the innervated cerebral hemisphere. Thus, the "trophic" effect of sympathetic nerves on cerebral vessels appears to be age-related.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
