Cerebral blood flow regulation and neurovascular dysfunction in Alzheimer disease

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 419 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.48 Authors: Kassandra Kisler, Amy R. Nelson, Axel Montagne & Berislav V. Zlokovic Cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation is essential for normal brain function. The mammalian brain has evolved a unique mechanism for CBF control known as neurovascular coupling. This mechanism ensures a rapid increase in the rate of CBF and oxygen delivery to activated brain structures. The
