Blood flow fluctuations in cerebral cortex microvessels.

Kislyakov YuYa, Levkovitch YuI, T E Shuymilova

    International Journal of Microcirculation, Clinical and Experimental
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Blood flow in cerebral microvessels shows significant velocity fluctuations, with periods ranging from 0.3 to 3 seconds. These variations are likely caused by leukocytes and red blood cell aggregates impacting local resistance.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Cerebral microcirculation is vital for brain function.
    • Understanding blood flow dynamics is crucial for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamics of blood flow in cerebral microvessels.
    • To characterize the velocity fluctuations, their periodicity, and potential causes.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed the cinema-TV method to observe blood flow in microvessels (5-13 micron diameter).
    • Utilized autocorrelation analysis to determine periodicity of flow fluctuations.
    • Measured fluctuation amplitude (10-1500 micron/s) and period (0.2-7 s).

    Main Results:

    • Observed significant linear velocity fluctuations in cerebral microvessel blood flow.
    • Identified frequent variations in linear velocity occurring within 0.5-1 s.
    • Determined periodicity in blood flow fluctuations ranging from 0.3 to 3 s, with a linear relationship between amplitude and period.

    Conclusions:

    • Cerebral microvessel blood flow exhibits complex dynamics with notable velocity fluctuations.
    • Leukocytes and erythrocyte aggregates likely influence local resistance, causing these observed flow variations.
    • Further research into these dynamics may offer insights into cerebrovascular health and disease.
