Administration of anesthetic agents fundamentally shifts the responsibility for maintenance of
homeostasis from the patient and their intrinsic physiological regulatory mechanisms to the …

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging uses arterial blood water as an
endogenous tracer to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF). In this review, based on ASL …

A long-standing challenge in optical neuroimaging has been the assessment of
hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in the awake rodent brain at the microscopic level …

The human brain constitutes 2% of the body's total mass but uses 20% of the oxygen. The
rate of the brain's oxygen utilization can be derived from a knowledge of cerebral blood flow …

Quantitative measurements of brain perfusion are influenced by perfusion-modifiers.
Standardization of measurement conditions and correction for important modifiers is …

Cerebral ischemia is a devastating condition that results in impaired blood flow in the brain
leading to acute brain injury. As the most common form of stroke, occlusion of cerebral …

With the advancement of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, more
detailed information about the human brain at high altitude (HA) has been revealed. The …

Several biochemical aspects of the migraine pathophysiology remain to be elucidated using
MRS, such as the migraine attack, correlation to disease severity, and medication efficacy …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) can non-invasively and continuously asses regional
cerebral blood flow (rCBF) at the cot-side by measuring a blood flow index (BFI) in non …

Key points Cognitive performance is impaired by hypoxia despite global cerebral oxygen
delivery and metabolism being maintained. Using arterial spin labelled (ASL) magnetic …
