    This study introduces a novel method to calculate the transfer function of the cerebral cortex using carbon-black dilution curves. This technique enhances understanding of brain blood flow dynamics.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Understanding cerebral cortex hemodynamics is crucial for diagnosing neurological disorders.
    • Current methods for assessing brain blood flow may lack precision or require invasive procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new technique for determining the transfer function of the regional cerebral cortex.
    • To enable precise measurement of intraparenchymal circulatory parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Recorded tissue carbon-black (CB) dilution curves in cat cortex in situ.
    • Differentiated curves to obtain inlet and outlet functions, correcting for overlapping errors.
    • Calculated the transfer function via numerical deconvolution and validated against simultaneous pial artery and sagittal sinus measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully derived the transfer function of the cerebral cortex using the novel CB dilution technique.
    • Validated the accuracy of the calculated transfer function through comparative analysis.
    • Demonstrated the method's applicability in determining intraparenchymal circulatory parameters via moment analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The reported technique provides a reliable method for assessing cerebral cortex transfer function.
    • This approach offers a valuable tool for quantitative analysis of brain hemodynamics.
    • The method has significant potential for advancing research in cerebrovascular physiology and disease.
