Blood flow in the human cerebral cortex: Large-scale pial vascularization and 1D simulation
Fig 7
Comparison of the hemodynamics in the cerebral cortex between the normotensive and hypertensive scenarios using pulse-related indexes.
Left panel: Pulse pressure across the entire cortex network as a field (top insets) and distribution of the pulse pressure in the different territories (bottom insets). Right panel: Pulsatility (flow rate-based) index across the entire cortex network as a field (top insets) and distribution of the index in the different territories (bottom insets). Statistics are shown for networks (red),
(green), and
(blue), and also for the entire pial network
(gray), considering both scenarios, normotensive (left plots) and hypertensive (right plots).
