Abstract
Neurovascular coupling (NVC) interaction with dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) remains unclear. We investigated the effect of task complexity and duration on the interaction with dCA. Sixteen healthy participants (31.6 ± 11.6 years) performed verbal fluency (naming-words (NW)) and serial subtraction (SS) paradigms, of varying complexity, at durations of 05, 30 and 60 s. The autoregulation index (ARI), was estimated from the bilateral middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) step response, calculated by transfer function analysis (TFA), for each paradigm during unstimulated (2 min) and neuroactivated (1 min) segments. Intraclass correlation (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV) determined reproducibility for two visits and objective criteria were applied to classify responders (R) and non-responders (NoR) to task-induced MCAv increase. ICC values demonstrated fair reproducibility in all tasks. ARI decreased in right (RH) and left (LH) hemispheres, irrespective of paradigm complexity and duration (p < 0.0001). Bilateral ARI estimates were significantly decreased during NW for the R group only (p < 0.0001) but were reduced in both R (p < 0.0001) and NoR (p = 0.03) groups for SS tasks compared with baseline. The reproducible attenuation of dCA efficiency due to paradigm-induced NVC response, its interaction, and different behaviour in R and NoR, warrant further research in different physiological and clinical conditions.

Exp Biol Med (Maywood) 2023; 248:2464-2472.

Abstract
Postural hypotension abruptly lowers cerebral perfusion, producing unsteadiness which worsens with aging. This study addressed the hypothesis that maintenance of cerebral perfusion weakens in the elderly due to less effective cerebrovascular autoregulation and systemic cardiovascular responses to hypotension. In healthy elderly (n = 13, 68 ± 1 years) and young (n = 13, 26 ± 1 years) adults, systemic hypotension was induced by rapid deflation of bilateral thigh cuffs after 3-min suprasystolic occlusion, while heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery (VMCA) were recorded. VMCA/MAP indexed cerebrovascular conductance (CVC). Durations and rates of recovery of MAP and VMCA from their respective postdeflation nadirs were compared between the groups. Thigh-cuff deflation elicited similar hypotension and cerebral hypoperfusion in the elderly and young adults. However, the time elapsed (TΔ) from cuff deflation to the nadirs of MAP and VMCA, and the time for full recovery (TR) from nadirs to baselines were significantly prolonged in the elderly subjects. The response rates of HR (ΔHR, i.e. cardiac factor), MAP (ΔMAP, i.e. vasomotor factor), and CVC following cuff deflation were significantly slower in the elderly. Collectively, the response rates of the cardiac, vasomotor, and CVC factors largely explained TRVMCA. However, the TRVMCA/ΔMAP slope (-3.0 ± 0.9) was steeper (P = 0.046) than the TRVMCA/ΔHR slope (-1.1 ± 0.4). The TRVMCA/ΔCVC slope (-2.4 ± 0.6) was greater (P = 0.072) than the TRVMCA/ΔHR slope, but did not differ from the TRVMCA/ΔMAP slope (P = 0.52). Both cerebrovascular autoregulatory and systemic mechanisms contributed to cerebral perfusion recovery during systemic hypotension, and the vasomotor factor was predominant over the cardiac factor. Recovery from cerebral hypoperfusion was slower in the elderly adults because of the age-diminished rates of the CVC response and cardiovascular reflex regulation. Systemic vasoconstriction predominated over increased HR for restoring cerebral perfusion after abrupt onset of systemic hypotension.

Abstract
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) refers to the control of cerebral tissue blood flow (CBF) in response to changes in perfusion pressure. Due to the challenges of measuring intracranial pressure, CA is often described as the relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and CBF. Dynamic CA (dCA) can be assessed using multiple techniques, with transfer function analysis (TFA) being the most common. A 2016 white paper by members of an international Cerebrovascular Research Network (CARNet) that is focused on CA strove to improve TFA standardization by way of introducing data acquisition, analysis, and reporting guidelines. Since then, additional evidence has allowed for the improvement and refinement of the original recommendations, as well as for the inclusion of new guidelines to reflect recent advances in the field. This second edition of the white paper contains more robust, evidence-based recommendations, which have been expanded to address current streams of inquiry, including optimizing MAP variability, acquiring CBF estimates from alternative methods, estimating alternative dCA metrics, and incorporating dCA quantification into clinical trials. Implementation of these new and revised recommendations is important to improve the reliability and reproducibility of dCA studies, and to facilitate inter-institutional collaboration and the comparison of results between studies.

Abstract
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) can be altered by a change in partial pressure of arterial CO2 (pCO2), being reduced during hyperventilation (HPV). Critical closing pressure (CrCP) and resistance area product (RAP) are parameters which can be studied to understand this change, but their dynamic response has not been investigated during paced HPV (PHPV). Seventy five participants had recordings at rest and during PHPV. Blood pressure (BP) (Finometer), bilateral CBF velocity (CBFV) (transcranial Doppler), end-tidal CO2 (capnography) and heart rate (HR) were recorded continuously. Subcomponent analysis (SCA) and time-varying CrCP, RAP and dynamic cerebral autoregulation (Autoregulation Index, ARI) were estimated comparing PHPV to poikilocapnia. PHPV caused a change in CBFV (p<0.01), EtCO2, (p<0.01), HR (p<0.001) and RAP (p<0.01). SCA demonstrated RAP was the main parameter explaining the changes in CBFV due to PHPV. The time-varying step responses for CBFV and RAP during PHPV demonstrated considerable non-stationarity compared to poikilocapnia (p<0.00001). Although time-varying ARI was temporarily depressed, after 60 s of PHPV it was significantly higher (6.81 ± 1.88) (p<0.0001) than in poikilocapnia (5.08 ± 1.86). The mean plateau of the RAP step response was -98.3 ± 58.8 % 60 s after the onset of PHPV but -71.7 ± 45.0 % for poikilocapnia (p=0.0026), with no corresponding changes in CrCP (p=0.6). Further work is needed to assess the role of sex and aging in our findings, and the potential for using RAP and CrCP to improve the sensitivity and specificity of CO2 reactivity studies in cerebrovascular conditions.
