New study in Journal of Physiology shows how the brain regulates blood pressure! Intracranial baroreceptors respond to pressure changes, triggering BP increases to maintain #cerebral flow. Using #OxyLite, the team showed pO2 dips were minimal, ruling out hypoxia. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…
