Resumo
Several forms of experimental evidence gathered in the last 37 years have unequivocally established that the medulla
oblongata harbors the main neural circuits responsible for generating the vasomotor tone and regulating arterial blood
pressure. Our current understanding of this circuitry derives mainly from the studies of Pedro Guertzenstein, a former
student who became Professor of Physiology at UNIFESP later, and his colleagues. In this review, we have summarized
the main findings as well as our collaboration to a further understanding of the ventrolateral medulla and the control of
arterial blood pressure under normal and pathological conditions.
