Brief description Pregnancy changes blood pressure but the mechanism is unknown. We will use state-of-the-art anatomical methods to define how pregnancy alters nerves controlling blood pressure. We will identify changes in the information the nerve cells receive, in their shape and in the way they communicate with other blood pressure-controlling nerve cells. This information will help to develop new ways to prevent and treat pre-eclampsia, a major cause of death and disability for mothers and their newborns.
