Study of cerebral bloodflow autoregulation in rats assessed by LSCI

Using the method of laser speckle imaging, which has been extended to the simultaneous study of macro- and microcirculation of cerebral vessels in healthy rats, shows that the mechanisms of maintaining the “autonomy” of cerebral circulation depends on the initial conditions. Pharmacological dose-dependent stimulation of peripheral arterial pressure caused different reactions in males's and female's macro- and microcirculation.
