Sickle cell disease is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and vascular inflammation, which can diminish the vasodilatory capacity of the small resistance arteries, making them less adept at regulating cerebral blood flow.

Evaluation of the Extension of the Cerebral Blood Flow and its Main Parameters [PDF]
Among the major factors controlling the cerebral blood flow (CBF) - cerebral perfusion pressure, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), cerebral metabolism, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and cardiac output, the effect of PaCO2 is peculiar in being independent of autoregulatory CBF mechanisms and it allows to explore the full

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a leading cause of stroke and dementia. CADASIL, an inherited SVD, alters cerebral artery function, compromising blood flow to the working brain.

Interferometric speckle visibility spectroscopy (ISVS) for human cerebral blood flow monitoring [PDF]
Infrared light scattering methods have been developed and employed to non-invasively monitor human cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, the number of reflected photons that interact with the brain is low when detecting blood flow in deep tissue. To tackle this photon-starved problem, we present and demonstrate the idea of interferometric speckle ...

Cerebral blood flow at rest declines with age. However, age-related changes in functional measures of cerebrovascular health including cerebrovascular reactivity and neurovascular coupling are not well understood.

Quantification of the effect of breathing on the cerebral circulation provides a better mechanistic understanding of the brain's circulatory system and is important in the early diagnosis of certain neurological diseases. However, conventional cine phase-

Transcranial direct-current stimulation (DCS) offers a method for noninvasive neuromodulation usable in basic and clinical human neuroscience. Laser-speckle contrast imaging (LSCI), a powerful, low-cost method for obtaining images of dynamic systems, can

Signal analysis of impulse response functions in MR- and CT-measurements of cerebral blood flow [PDF]
The impulse response function (IRF) of a localized bolus in cerebral blood flow codes important information on the tissue type. It is indirectly accessible both from MR- and CT-imaging methods, at least in principle. In practice, however, noise and limited signal resolution render standard deconvolution techniques almost useless.

Vestibular effects on cerebral blood flow
Background Humans demonstrate a number of unique adaptations that allow for the maintenance of blood pressure and brain blood flow when upright. While several physiological systems, including cerebral autoregulation, are involved in this adaptation the ...

Assessing Sensitivity of Brain-to-Scalp Blood Flows in Laser Speckle Imaging by Occluding the Superficial Temporal Artery [PDF]
Cerebral blood flow is a critical metric for cerebrovascular monitoring, with applications in stroke detection, brain injury evaluation, aging, and neurological disorders. Non-invasively measuring cerebral blood dynamics is challenging due to the scalp and skull, which obstruct direct brain access and contain their own blood dynamics that must be ...
