Abstract
Salt-sensitive and salt-induced hypertension (SHTN) is a multifaceted and heterogeneous condition influenced by various factors, including lifestyle, genetics, sex, age, and dietary salt intake. Despite its prevalence, affecting about 50% of hypertensive and 25% of normotensive individuals, the precise mechanisms driving salt sensitivity remain incompletely understood. The central nervous system (CNS) plays a pivotal role in SHTN, as it detects changes in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sodium (Na + ) concentrations and integrates sensory signals from peripheral organs. These inputs, in turn, regulate the autonomic nervous system, leading to an increase in sympathetic nerve activity that contributes to the onset of SHTN. This review examines the CNS mechanisms involved in SHTN, focusing on the key afferent and efferent pathways in its pathogenesis. We summarize recent findings on critical neural circuits activated by dietary salt and examine several key signaling pathways, including the brain’s renin-angiotensin system, aldosterone-“ouabain,” and salt-sensitive G proteins. Additionally, we discuss the clinical relevance of targeting the CNS for SHTN treatment and review current therapeutic approaches.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
