Abstract EN
Accumulating evidence from animal models and human studies of essential hypertension suggest that brain regulation of the vasculature is impacted by the disease.
Human neuroimaging findings suggest that the brain may be an early target of the disease.
This observation reinforces earlier research suggesting that psychological factors may be one of the many contributory factors to the initiation of the disease.
Alternatively or in addition, initial blood pressure increases may impact cognitive and/or affective function.
Evidence for an impact of blood pressure on the perception and experience of affect is reviewed vis-a-vis brain imaging findings suggesting that such involvement in hypertensive individuals is likely.
