Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular
resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within 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 …

General anesthetics threaten cardiovascular stability by causing changes in cardiac
function, vascular reactivity, and cardiovascular reflexes and significantly alter distribution of …

Understanding the spatial dynamics of dilation in the cerebral vasculature is essential for
deciphering the vascular basis of hemodynamic signals in the brain. We used two-photon …

BACKGROUND: ATP-regulated K+ channels are involved in anesthetic-induced
preconditioning (APC). The role of other K+ channels in APC is unclear. We tested the …

We characterized the effects of the volatile anesthetic isoflurane on the ion currents that
contribute to the action potential (AP) in isolated rat neurohypophysial (NHP) nerve …

The advances made in vascular biology in the last 25 years have considerably changed the
perception that one could have of the endothelial cells. Once considered as a diffusion …

IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study indicate that propofol-mediated hyperpolarization in
vascular smooth muscle can be attributed to the activation of calcium-activated, adenosine …

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) is a promising neuromodulation technique able to
target shallow and deep brain structures with high precision. Previous studies have …

Background Recent evidence indicates that vascular adenosine triphosphate-sensitive
potassium (K (ATP)) channels in vascular smooth muscle cells are critical in the regulation of …
