The prospects for brain neurovascular system and assessment methods
The human brain has an extremely sophisticated neurovascular system to meet the instant demands of en-ergy metabolism for brain cells.However,existing instruments can only detect single neurovascular functions to provide so fragmented information that many scientific issues related to neurovascular diseases remain unresolved.This paper reviews the role of cerebral autoregulation,cerebrovascular reactivity,neurovascular coupling,and autonomic nervous function in major diseases,and discusses the feasibility of a multi-functional,multi-paradigm,multi-scale,and high-resolution mea-surement system for human neurovascular function.We hope to provide scientific tools for in-depth investigation into new theories and mechanisms of major neurovascular diseases such as cerebrovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease.
