The effects of the sympathetic nervous system on control of the cerebral blood flow in men and women remain unclear. Recent studies(1,2) the diameter of the middle cerebral artery changes in response to changes in arterial CO2, but it is unclear whether the diameter changes during increases in sympathetic neural outflow during lower body negative pressure (LBNP)
