Abstract

The 3D organization of cerebral blood vessels determines the overall capacity of the cerebral circulation to meet the metabolic requirements of the brain. This study used Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MRI with a hypercapnic challenge and ex vivo Serial Two-Photon Tomography (STPT) to examine the relationship between blood flow and 3D microvascular structure following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a mouse. Mice were exposed to a controlled cortical impact TBI and allowed to recover for either 1 day or 4 weeks. At each time point, ASL MRI was performed to quantify cerebral perfusion and the brain vasculature was imaged in 3D with STPT. Registration of ASL to STPT enabled flow changes to be related to the underlying microvascular structure in each ASL voxel. Hypoperfusion under rest and hypercapnia was observed both 1 day and 4 weeks post-TBI. Vessel density and vascular volume were reduced 1 day post-TBI, recovering by 4 weeks; however, the reorganized vasculature at the latter time point possessed an abnormal radial pattern. Our findings demonstrate functionally significant long-term changes in the vascular architecture following injury and illustrate why metrics beyond traditional measures of vessel density are required to understand the impact of vascular structure on function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
