From a structural perspective, the predominant glial cell of the central nervous system, the
astrocyte, is positioned to regulate synaptic transmission and neurovascular coupling: the …

This minireview discusses vasomotion, which is the oscillation in tone of blood vessels
leading to flowmotion. We will briefly discuss the prevalence of vasomotion and its potential …

Vasomotion, rhythmic oscillations in vascular tone caused by local changes in smooth
muscle constriction and dilation, has been observed since the invention of the microscope …

The central role of the cardiovascular system is to maintain adequate capillary perfusion.
The spatially and temporally heterogeneous nature of capillary perfusion has been reported …

Understanding of oxygen delivery by the microcirculation has been dominated by the unitary
component analysis of Krogh and Erlangen focussed on oxygen transport mediated by …

Neuronal activity in the brain is thought to be coupled to cerebral arterioles (functional
hyperemia) through Ca2+ signals in astrocytes. Although functional hyperemia occurs …

A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis of a vascular component in the
pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebral hypoperfusion and blood-brain barrier …

An adequate blood supply to meet the energy demands is essential for any tissue,
particularly for high energy demand tissues such as the retina. A critical question is: How is …

Brain arterioles are active, multicellular complexes whose diameters oscillate at∼ 0.1 Hz.
We assess the physiological impact and spatiotemporal dynamics of vaso-oscillations in the …
