Ribeiro N, Martins Sá RW, Antunes VR (2020) Depletion of C1 neurons attenuates the salt-induced hypertension in unanesthetized rats. Brain Res 1748:147107. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2020.147107 Objective: To determine if the ablation of C1 neurons mitigates high blood pressure induced by high-salt intake. Summary: Data show that hypertension induced by high-salt intake is dependent on C1 neurons.
