Although regional difference in sympathetic efferent nerve activity has been well investigated, whether this regional difference exists in the dynamic baroreflex regulation of sympathetic nerve activity remains uncertain. In anesthetized, vagotomized, and aortic-denervated rabbits, we isolated carotid sinuses and randomly perturbed intracarotid sinus pressure (CSP) while simultaneously recording cardiac (CSNA) and renal sympathetic nerve activities (RSNA). The neural arc transfer function from CSP to CSNA and that from CSP to RSNA revealed high-pass characteristics. The increasing slope of the transfer gain in the frequencies between 0.03 and 0.3 Hz was significantly greater for CSNA than for RSNA (2.96 ± 0.72 vs. 1.64 ± 0.73 dB/octave, P < 0.01, n = 9). The difference was hardly explained by the difference in static nonlinear characteristics of CSP-CSNA and CSP-RSNA relationships or by the difference in conduction velocities in the multifiber recording. These results indicate that the central processing in the brain stem differs between CSNA and RSNA. The neural arc of the baroreflex may exert differential effects on the heart and kidney in response to dynamic baroreflex activation.
