    Summary

    This study reviews cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation, identifying four mechanisms and highlighting neurogenic control. Key findings emphasize major brain arteries and pial arteries as primary effectors for efficient blood flow control.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology
    • Systems Biology

    Background:

    • Cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation is crucial for brain function.
    • Historical perspectives on CBF control mechanisms are diverse.
    • Understanding CBF regulation is vital for clinical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review and classify major cerebral blood flow control mechanisms.
    • To analyze the effectors and regulatory influences on CBF.
    • To propose criteria for evaluating CBF regulation efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of 19th and 20th-century conceptions of CBF control.
    • Analysis of CBF regulation from an automatic control systems perspective.
    • Classification of CBF regulation mechanisms and identification of effectors.

    Main Results:

    • Four distinct types of CBF regulation mechanisms were identified.
    • Major brain arteries and small pial arteries, not intracerebral arterioles, are the primary effectors.
    • Neurogenic mechanisms were prioritized over myogenic and humoral influences.
    • Synergistic and antagonistic interactions between regulatory types were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Neurogenic control plays a pivotal role in cerebral blood flow regulation.
    • The identified effectors and regulatory mechanisms offer insights into maintaining brain homeostasis.
    • Understanding these complex interactions is essential for advancing medical practice related to cerebrovascular disorders.
