Blood-pressure pulsations modulate neurons via mechanosensitive channels
- what the source states
- Physiological blood-pressure pulsations were shown to modulate central neuronal activity through mechanosensitive ion channels in rat preparations and awake animals, on rapid timescales.
- what we infer
- Direct causal evidence for the vascular-mechanical-to-neural direction the hemo-neural hypothesis requires — sixteen years after it was proposed, the read path has a demonstrated mechanism.
- limitations
- Rat brain, not human periphery; demonstrates instantaneous mechanosensation, not storage or content-specific readout.
