A critical role for astrocytes in hypercapnic vasodilation in brain
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is controlled by arterial blood pressure, arterial CO2 arterial O2, and brain activity and is largely constant in the awake state. Although small changes in arterial CO2 are particularly potent to change CBF (1 mmHg variation in arterial CO2 changes CBF by 3-4%), the coupli...
