Blood flow in the human cerebral cortex: Large-scale pial vascularization and 1D simulation
Fig 8
Transport-level hemodynamics (top-half) along randomly chosen vascular paths per vascular territory, and perfusion-level hemodynamics (bottom-half) defined at all terminal vessels.
The transport-level quantities along the path are shown with a thick black line. Colorbar indicates vessel diameter values in the perfusion-level panels. Left panels: Pulsatility index (PI) as a function of the distance to the territory root. Right panels: Mean blood pressure as a function of the distance to the territory root. In each panel, each row corresponds to a given territory: (red),
(green), and
(blue). In each panel, the normotensive (left) and the hypertensive (right) scenarios are displayed.
