Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation modulated cardiovascular excitatory responses in rats through spinal cord opioid peptide mechanisms, potentially applicable to non-invasive treatment of cardiovascular autonomic disorders.
Key findingTranscutaneous magnetic stimulation modulated cardiovascular excitatory responses through spinal cord mechanisms involving opioid peptide and nocicept
What the researchers found
Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation modulated cardiovascular excitatory responses through spinal cord mechanisms involving opioid peptide and nociceptin pathways — establishing a non-invasive approach to modulating cardiovascular autonomic reflexes.
