Tone-dependent vascular responses to astrocyte-derived signals.
A growing number of studies support an important contribution of astrocytes to neurovascular coupling, i.e., the phenomenon by which variations in neuronal activity trigger localized changes in blood flow that serve to match the metabolic demands of neurons. However, since both constriction and dilations have been observed in brain parenchymal arterioles upon astrocyte stimulation, the specific...
متن کاملAstrocyte regulation of cerebral vascular tone.
Cerebral blood flow is controlled by two crucial processes, cerebral autoregulation (CA) and neurovascular coupling (NVC) or functional hyperemia. Whereas CA ensures constant blood flow over a wide range of systemic pressures, NVC ensures rapid spatial and temporal increases in cerebral blood flow in response to neuronal activation. The focus of this review is to discuss the cellular mechanisms...
متن کاملVascular responses to vasopressin are tone-dependent in the cerebral circulation of the newborn pig.
The effects of lysine vasopressin (LVP) on pial arteriolar diameter and cortical periarachnoid fluid prostanoid concentrations were investigated in newborn pigs. Chloralose-anesthetized piglets were equipped with closed cranial windows over the parietal cortex for observation of pial arterioles and collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) passing over the cerebral surface. Prostanoids in the CSF...
متن کاملTransient responses to tone bursts.
Investigating theoretical conditions under which linearly-operating tuned structures produce click-like transient responses to onsets and offsets of trapezoidal tone bursts, we come to the following conclusions: (1) each of the four corners of the trapezoidal tone burst is capable of eliciting such a response; (2) the amplitude of the response and its dependence on the frequency of the modulate...
