摘要
Experiments were done in the chloralose-anesthetized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated rat to determine the cardiovascular responses elicited during chemical stimulation of bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and to investigate the components of the peripheral autonomic nervous system that mediate these responses. Neurons in BST were selectively stimulated by the microinjection (10-20 nl) of the excitatory amino acid L-glutamate (1 M). Stimulation of BST elicited decreases in mean arterial pressure (n = 105) of -6 to -55 mmHg. These depressor responses were on occasion (n = 60) accompanied by decreases in heart rate ranging between -10 and -40 beats/min. The largest depressor responses were consistently elicited from a crescent-shaped region of BST around the dorsolateral, lateral, and ventrolateral surfaces of the anterior commissure. Intravenous administration of the muscarinic receptor blocker, atropine methylbromide, had no affect on the magnitude of the mean arterial pressure and heart rate responses. On the other hand, administration (intravenous) of the nicotinic receptor blocker, hexamethonium bromide or arfonad, abolished both the depressor response and cardiac slowing during stimulation of BST. These data suggest that the BST depressor and the bradycardia responses are mediated by inhibition of both sympathetic vasoconstrictor fibers to the vasculature and cardioacceleratory fibers to the heart, respectively.
