What is it about?

This review is framed within the integrative character of physiology suggesting, for the first time, new bidirectional asymmetric mechanisms of neuroendocrine communication for the cardiovascular control, extending and developing the neurovisceral integration model from a bilateral perspective.

Why is it important?

Our proposal develops a concept that supports the existence of a neurovisceral connection, with multiorgan involvement, that controls, among others, the cardiovascular function, and that this connection is asymmetrically organized. The further detailed development of our assumption may help in the diagnosis and prognosis of the severity of pathological entities depending on the brain or the peripheral organ lesion's sides.

Perspectives

This exciting proposal requires a systematic search for asymmetric physiological or pathological patterns of behavior.
