Brain function critically depends on a close matching between metabolic demands,
appropriate delivery of oxygen and nutrients, and removal of cellular waste. This matching …

Herein, we review mechanisms regulating cerebral blood flow (CBF), with specific focus on
humans. We revisit important concepts from the older literature and describe the interaction …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is rigorously regulated by various powerful mechanisms to
safeguard the match between cerebral metabolic demand and supply. The question of how …

We studied the response of cerebral blood flow to acute step decreases in arterial blood
pressure noninvasively and nonpharmacologically in 10 normal volunteers during …

Cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is one of the most
important causes of cerebral ischemia, and is the leading cause of death and disability after …

Background and Purpose—The relationship between middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow
velocity (CFV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) is uncertain because of unknown vessel …

Resistance of large arteries appears to be greater in the cerebral circulation than in other
vascular beds. Large arteries contribute importantly to total cerebral vascular resistance and …

Understanding the contribution of the autonomic nervous system to cerebral blood flow
(CBF) control is challenging, and interpretations are unclear. The identification of calcium …
