Networked cardiac control, revealed through analysis of extended baseline-state multi-channel recordings, differentiates heart failure and normal regimes highlighting the promise of peripheral neurally based clinical interventions.

At least three hypothalamic subsystems are involved in cardiovascular regulation in humans.

The transcription factor Meis1 is a dedicated maintenance factor for sympathetic neurons and controls the expression of key genes involved in endosome trafficking.

Starfish feed by everting their stomach out of their mouth over prey and, interestingly, this unusual feeding mechanism is inhibited by substances similar to hormones that regulate feeding in humans.

Restoration of endogenous frataxin levels reverses neurologic and cardiac phenotypes associated with Friedreich's ataxia in adult mice even after significant motor dysfunction.

Feedback sensing of the intracellular calcium concentration suffices to reproduce the diversity of ionic conductances underlying normal cardiac electromechanical function in a genetically diverse population of mice.

Functional assays using zebrafish reveal that various microbial channelrhodopsins, guanylyl cyclase rhodopsin, and photoactivated adenylyl cyclases function as potent optogenetic tools, effectively controlling neural activity and cardiac function in zebrafish.

The rhythms generated by the stomatogastric and cardiac ganglia of the Jonah crab are surprisingly robust but differentially sensitive to acute changes in extracellular pH from pH 5.5 to 10.4.

Chronic, daily inhalation of e-cigarette aerosols alters the inflammatory state of multiple organ systems, including the brain, heart, lung and colon.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation is a safe neuromodulatory treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage patients, with potential benefits for restoring autonomic balance.
