Differences in regional grey matter volume of the brain are related to mean blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in normotensive humans

Conclusion: We conclude that small differences in MBP and MSNA are associated with significant differences in grey matter volume in cortical and subcortical regions known to be involved in blood pressure regulation, suggesting that these structural differences contribute to resting MBP and MSNA and can predict the establishment of hypertension.
