Capillary networks are essential for distribution of blood flow through the brain, and
numerous other homeostatic functions, including neurovascular signal conduction and …

A new method for studying brain microcirculation is described, Both fluorescently labeled
erythrocytes and plasma were visualized on-line through a closed cranial window in …

Neurovascular research has made significant strides toward understanding how the brain
neurovascular unit accomplishes rapid and spatial increases in blood flow following …

In order to maintain normal brain function, it is critical that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is
matched to neuronal metabolic needs. Accordingly, blood flow is increased to areas where …

Key points• We show that parenchymal arterioles of less than 30 μm in diameter can be
successfully cannulated and perfused in cortical and hypothalamic brain slices.• Increased …

The ability to non-invasively monitor and quantify hemodynamic responses down to the
capillary level is important for improved diagnosis, treatment and management of …

Abnormal microcirculation within meninges is common in many neurological diseases.
There is a need for an imaging method that is capable of monitoring dynamic meningeal …

Modern neuroimaging techniques use signals originating from microcirculation to map brain
function. In this study, activity-dependent changes in oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and …

Functional hyperemia, also known as neurovascular coupling, is a phenomenon that occurs
when neural activity increases local cerebral blood flow. Because all biological activity …

A personal computer-based image analysis system was developed for the three-
dimensional mapping of cerebrocortical capillary networks from intravital video recordings …
