Abstract

Highlights: [•] Nitric oxide increases presynaptic glutamate release to baroreceptor NTS neurons. [•] Nitric oxide increases N-type Ca2+ currents in baroreceptor NTS neurons in nodose ganglion. [•] Cav2.2 subunit is present on the baroreceptor afferent nerve terminals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
