Neurovascular coupling reflects the close temporal and regional linkage between neural
activity and cerebral blood flow. Although providing mechanistic insight, our understanding …

In the brain, increases in neural activity drive changes in local blood flow via neurovascular
coupling. The common explanation for increased blood flow (known as functional …

The brain is critically dependent on a continuous supply of blood to function. Therefore, the
cerebral vasculature is endowed with neurovascular control mechanisms that assure that …

Anesthesia has broad actions that include changing neuronal excitability, vascular reactivity,
and other baseline physiologies and eventually modifies the neurovascular coupling …

Neurovascular coupling, or functional hyperaemia, refers to complex mechanisms of
communication between neurons, astrocytes and cerebral vessels which form the …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has allowed the noninvasive study of task-
based and resting-state brain dynamics in humans by inferring neural activity from blood …

The mechanisms that link a transient neural activity to the corresponding increase of
cerebral blood flow (CBF) are termed neurovascular coupling (NVC). They are possibly …

To date, the majority of neurovascular coupling studies focused on the thalamic afferents'
activity in layer IV and the corresponding large spiking activity as responsible for functional …

The coupling of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to neuronal activity is well preserved during
evolution. Upon changes in the neuronal activity, an incompletely understood coupling …

The mechanisms of neurovascular coupling contribute to ensuring brain energy supply is
sufficient to meet demand. Despite significant research interest, the mechanisms underlying …
