What is Autonomic Control and Survival about?

The autonomic nervous system controls the moment-to-moment activity of visceral organs and has a critical in survival, homeostasis, and adaptations to internal or external challenges. The autonomic outputs are mediated by the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous systems under the influence of several interconnected areas distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). They include lower brainstem areas mediating autonomic reflexes, and upper brainstem areas that integrate autonomic and respiratory control with behavioral arousal. These areas are also the effectors of descending commands from the hypothalamus, amygdala, and cerebral cortex and provide feedback inputs to these areas. Disorders affecting autonomic control may manifest with autonomic failure that severely affects quality of life, and sometimes with life-threatening impaired control of blood pressure and respiration during sleep.
