Specific Aims
Goals of the proposed research
Cerebral blood flow impairments are implicated in the pathogenesis of myriad neurological diseases, from concussion to dementia. Understanding how cerebral blood flow is regulated under normal conditions may thus permit the development of therapies that can correct blood flow abnormalities and possibly thereby alter the trajectory of neurological diseases. Studies consistently reveal two broad categories of blood flow impairment: 1. abnormal perfusion (hypo- or hyperperfusion), and 2. dampened vasodynamics, defined as a reduced ability of the cerebrovasculature to rapidly change resistance to blood flow in response to environmental shifts such as neural activity, blood pressure, oxygen level, etc. While it is accepted that arterioles ensheathed by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are capable of regulating these aspects of blood flow, perfusion and vasodynamics, it is debated whether capillaries lined with pericytes can also regulate blood flow. The goal of this dissertation is to clarify the capacity for pericyte-lined capillaries to regulate cerebral blood flow.
