Figure 1: Energy supply, usage and blood flow regulation in the brain. In this Review, we focus on the control of cerebral blood flow by local neuronal activity. We pay less attention to ...

Brain capillary pericytes are metabolic sentinels that control blood flow through a KATP channel-dependent energy switch. Cell Reports , 2022; 41 (13): 111872 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2022.111872 ...

This widens (dilates) the vessel, increasing the blood flow and local nutrient availability. Blood flow fluctuations are therefore a sign of an increased brain activity and can be used for scanning ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a quasi autonomous part of the nervous system and includes a number of neural circuits that control motor functions, local blood flow, mucosal transport and ...

Blood flow is a major influence on tumor cell metastasis Date: April 9, 2018 Source: Cell Press Summary: Scientists have long theorized that blood flow plays an integral role in cancer metastasis.

This reduces blood flow to the brain, causing attention deficits, memory loss, and impaired learning ability. Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: "This ...

A stroke, sometimes called a "brain attack," occurs when blood flow to an area in the brain is cut off. If a stroke is not caught early, permanent brain damage or death can result.
