In the third series of experiments, the region of the NTS that responded to the hypertonic saline stimulus was found to innervate the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) and nucleus ambiguus. In addition, it was found that the cardiovascular responses to the injection of hypertonic saline into the NTS were attenuated by blocking synaptic transmission in the VLM. Therefore, these data suggest that NTS neurons detect changes in plasma sodium levels and in turn activate neuronal mechanisms that can alter cardiovascular output pathways through the VLM to affect AP and HR.
