Increased Cerebral Blood Flow in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Plasma Noradrenaline Level During Cardiac Pacemaker Stimulation
Cardiac electrical stimulation increased both rCBF in the ACC and plasma noradrenaline levels, and the changes were correlated. The ACC may be the brain center that transfers cardiac afferent information into autonomic arousal during cardiac pacing.
