How Does the Brain Control Its Own Blood Flow?
Science & EnvironmentBlood vessels in the brain are highly interconnected yet the mechanisms that regulate flow are not well studied. To learn more, UC San Diego Professor of Physics David formulated a mathematical model to predict the impact of a change in a single vessel on the flow through all the other vessels.
