Abstract/OtherAbstract:

In a companion paper (Lorthois et al., Neuroimage, in press), we perform the first simulations of blood flow in an anatomically accurate large human intra-cortical vascular network (~10000 segments), using a 1D non-linear model taking into account the complex rheological properties of blood flow in microcirculation. This model predicts blood pressure, blood flow and hematocrit distributions, volumes of functional vascular territories, regional flow at voxel and network scales, etc. Using the same approach, we study flow reorganizations induced by global arteriolar vasodilations (an isometabolic global increase in cerebral blood flow). For small to moderate global vasodilations, the relationship between changes in volume and changes in flow is in close agreement with Grubb's law, providing a quantitative tool for studying the variations of its exponent with underlying vascular architecture. A significant correlation between blood flow and vascular structure at the voxel scale, practically unchanged with respect to baseline, is demonstrated. Furthermore, the effects of localized arteriolar vasodilations, representative of a local increase in metabolic demand, are analyzed. In particular, localized vasodilations induce flow changes, including vascular steal, in the neighboring arteriolar trunks at small distances (<300 μm), while their influence in the neighboring veins is much larger (about 1 mm), which provides an estimate of the vascular point spread function. More generally, for the first time, the hemodynamic component of various functional neuroimaging techniques has been isolated from metabolic and neuronal components, and a direct relationship with several known characteristics of the BOLD signal has been demonstrated. |
