    Subjects can learn to control diastolic blood pressure in both directions, but heart rate and respiration changes do not consistently accompany this learned blood pressure control. No significant sex differences were found in acquiring these responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Learned control of physiological responses, such as blood pressure, is a key area of psychophysiology.
    • Previous research suggests individuals can acquire voluntary control over diastolic blood pressure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To replicate findings on acquired bi-directional diastolic blood pressure responses.
    • To investigate the relationship between learned blood pressure control and concurrent changes in heart rate and respiration.
    • To examine potential sex differences in the rate of acquiring diastolic blood pressure responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Four groups of normotensive subjects underwent training over eight one-hour sessions.
    • Diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate were monitored.
    • Statistical analyses were performed to assess response acquisition, inter-correlations, and sex differences.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects successfully acquired bi-directional control of diastolic blood pressure, confirming prior studies.
    • No consistent relationships were found between learned diastolic blood pressure changes and heart rate or respiration rate.
    • No reliable sex differences in the acquisition of diastolic blood pressure responses were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Voluntary control over diastolic blood pressure can be acquired independently of significant changes in heart rate or respiration.
    • Learned blood pressure regulation appears similar in males and females.
    • This study reinforces the plasticity of autonomic functions through behavioral training.
