Abstract
The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus contains magnocellular and parvocellular neurons. Some parvocellular neurons project to the spinal cord and are likely to directly influence the sympathetic prega nglionic motoneurons. Evidence is now accumulating to suggest that tho se neurons are important in the reflex responses induced by changes in blood volume.
