The contribution of Laboratory of Nervous System's Experimental Pathology (Institute of Neurology of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences) to cerebrovascular circulation investigations is described. The following questions were considered: cerebral circulation in cerebrovascular disturbances, collateral circulation in the "turned off" state of different brain arteries, and immunological brain alterations as the result of brain organic diseases. Results of the investigation of the damaging effect of acute increase in arterial pressure as well as individual sensitivity to brain ischemia and to drug administration were presented. The particular importance of researches of blood circulation biomechanics as well as of factors of its normalization were also emphasized.

Background: Studies have described a first pass effect (FPE) where patients with successful recanalization after one pass experience better outcomes. Few studies have evaluated this in patients with large core infarctions.

Objective: To determine whether patients with large core infarcts undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in which first pass reperfusion is achieved experience improved outcomes compared with those who undergo more than one pass.

The effect of acetazolamide on regional brain tissue oxygenation in patients with acute brain injury (ABI) is unknown. We studied adult patients with ABI who received acetazolamide as per the treating physician's decision and had ICP and brain oxygen pressure (PbtO) monitoring. Baseline measurements of ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and PbtO were taken before administering acetazolamide; subsequent measurements were recorded every 5 min for a total of 20 min.

Combining In Vivo Two-Photon and Laser Speckle Microscopy With the Ex Vivo Capillary-Parenchymal Arteriole Preparation as a Novel Approach to Study Neurovascular Coupling.

Objective: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline is increasingly recognized as an area of importance for targeting neurodegenerative disorders, yet full understanding of the mechanisms that underlie CBF changes are lacking. Animal models are crucial for expanding our knowledge as methods for studying global CBF and neurovascular coupling in humans are limited and require expensive specialized scanners.

Methods: Use of appropriate animal models can increase our understanding of cerebrovascular function, so we have combined chronic cranial windows with in vivo two-photon and laser speckle microscopy and ex vivo capillary-parenchymal arteriole (CaPA) preparations.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and one of the leading causes of death. AD is known to be correlated to tortuosity in the microvasculature as well as decreases in blood flow throughout the brain. However, the mechanisms behind these changes and their causal relation to AD are poorly understood.

Contralateral Neurovascular Coupling in Patients with Ischemic Stroke After Endovascular Thrombectomy.

Neurocrit Care

January 2025

Center for Data Science, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.

Background: Neurovascular coupling (NVC) refers to the process of aligning cerebral blood flow with neuronal metabolic demand. This study explores the potential of contralateral NVC-linking neural electrical activity on the stroke side with cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) on the contralesional side-as a marker of physiological function of the brain. Our aim was to examine the association between contralateral NVC and neurological outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke following endovascular thrombectomy.
