Post-stroke autonomic disturbances caused by damage of the central autonomic network. A Brain structures of the central autonomic network. ACC, anterior cingulate cortex; PAG, periaqueductal gray; CeA, central amygdala; PBN, parabrachial nucleus; NTS, nucleus of the solitary tract; DMV, dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus; NA, nucleus ambiguus; VLM, ventrolateral medulla.
