Paper Abstract
The brain relies on a continuous and adequate supply of blood flow, bringing the nutrients that it needs and removing the
waste products of metabolism. It is thus one of the most tightly regulated systems in the body, whereby a whole range of
mechanisms act to maintain this supply, despite changes in blood pressure etc. Failure of these mechanisms is found in a
number of devastating cerebral diseases, including stroke, vascular dementia and brain injury and trauma. Spontaneous
contraction and relaxation of arterioles (and in some instances venules) termed vasomotion has been observed in an
extensive variety of tissues and species. Vasomotion has a beneficial effect on tissue oxygenation and enhance blood
flow. Although vasomotion is strictly a local phenomenon, the regulation of contractile activity of vascular smooth
muscle cells is dependent on the complex interplay between vasodilator and vasoconstrictor stimuli from circulating
hormones, neurotransmitters, endothelial derived factors, and blood pressure. Therefore, evaluation of the spontaneous
oscillations in cerebral vasculatures might be a useful tool for assessing risk and investigating different treatment
strategies in neurological disorders, such as traumatic brain injury, seizure, ischemia, and stroke. In the present study, we
newly propose a method to visualize the spontaneous low-frequency oscillation of cerebral blood volume based on the
sequential RGB images of exposed brain.
