Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral autoregulation (CA) are critically important to
maintain proper brain perfusion and supply the brain with the necessary oxygen and energy …

Cerebral collateral circulation is a subsidiary vascular network, which is dynamically
recruited after arterial occlusion, and represents a powerful determinant of ischemic stroke …

The intraluminal filament model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in mice and rats
has been plagued by inconsistency, owing in part to the multitude of variables requiring …

Visible-light optical coherence tomography (Vis-OCT) is an emerging technology that can
image hemodynamic response in microvasculature. Vis-OCT can retrieve blood oxygen …

Background Stimulation of the vagus nerve has modulating, anti-inflammatory effects on the
cellular immune response in the blood and the spleen, stabilizing brain function. Here, we …

In vivo imaging techniques are powerful tools for evaluating biological systems. Relating
image signals to precise molecular phenomena can be challenging, however, due to …

The transit time distribution of blood through the cerebral microvasculature both constrains
oxygen delivery and governs the kinetics of neuroimaging signals such as blood-oxygen …

Background/Objective: To determine whether inflammation increases in retina as it does in
brain following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and whether the neurosteroid …

To study whether focal angiogenesis is induced in aged rodents after permanent distal
middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), young adult (3-month-old) and aged (24-month …

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a noninvasive optical technique that measures blood
volume changes [1]. In PPG, light is shone in tissue and the backscattered light is measured …
