Cerebral haemodynamic response to somatosensory stimulation in preterm lambs is enhanced following sildenafil and inhaled nitric oxide administration

Background: Neurovascular coupling (NVC) leads to an increase in local cerebral blood flow and oxygenation in response to increased neural activity and metabolic demand. Impaired or immature NVC reported in the preterm brain, potentially reduces cerebral oxygenation following increased neural activi...
