Dr. Michelle Gumz (University of Florida)and Dr. Daichi Shimbo (Columbia University) are co-chairing a workshop for NHLBI on circadian rhythms in blood pressure. Oct 27-29, 2021 (Wed - Fri, 12 pm - 4 pm EST; 9 am - 1 pm PST; 6 pm - 10 pm CET)
Since 2009, the National Postdoctoral Association has promoted National Postdoc Appreciation Week to recognize the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to U.S. research and discovery. On this occasion The CICMD thanks all our Postdoctoral members for their valuable contributions to the advancement of Science.
The survival of an organism is dependent on meeting the energetic demands imposed by stressors. This critical function is accomplished by the CNS's ability to orchestrate simultaneous activities of neurosecretory and autonomic axes. Here, we unveil a novel signaling mechanism within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that links excitation of neurons producing corticotropin-releasing-hormone with excitation of neurons controlling sympathetic nervous system activity and blood pressure. The implication is that chronic stress exposure may promote cardiometabolic disease by dysregulating the interneuronal cross-talk revealed by our experiments.
