Capillary perfusion in the brain is characterized by an essentially continuous flow of
erythrocytes and plasma in almost all capillaries. Rapid fluctuations and spatial …

Although autoregulation of cerebral blood flow is well established, the response of cerebral
capillary circulation to reduced cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is unclear. The objective …

The precise modulation of regional cerebral blood flow during neural activation is important
for matching local energetic demand and supply and clearing brain metabolites. Here we …

The reaction of cerebral capillaries to ischemia is unclear. Based on Hossmann's
observation of postischemic “delayed hypoperfusion,” we hypothesized that capillary flow is …

The velocity of red blood cells (RBC) in individual capillaries of the rat cerebral cortex was
assessed using direct, intravital video microscopy under normal conditions and during …

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

Autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in the face of changing perfusion pressure has been
studied extensively; however, the precise degree to which flow in the microcirculation is …

While it has been widely confirmed that cerebral blood flow is closely coupled with brain
metabolism, it remains a matter of controversy whether capillary flow is directly controlled to …

Confocal laser-scanning microscopy was used to visualize subsurface cerebral
microvessels labeled with intravascular fluorescein in a closed cranial window model of the …

necessarily move in parallel. For example, increases in vascular diameter may be
accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure locally or systemically, result-ing either in no …
