Inside the incompressible cranium, volume of cerebrospinal fluid is directly linked to blood volume: a change in either will induce compensatory other. Vasodilatory lowering pressure has been shown result an increase intracranial pressure, which, normal circumstances should return equilibrium by increased efflux. In this study, we investigated effect on fluorescent tracer absorption into systemic circulation. Blood was performed i.v. administration nitric oxide donor (sodium nitroprusside, 5...

Abstract In-vivo microscopical studies indicate that brain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport driven by blood vessel pulsations is reduced in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We hypothesized coupling pattern between cerebrovascular and CSF altered AD, this can be measured using multi-wavelength functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). To study this, we quantified simultaneously cerebral hemo- hydrodynamics AD patients age-matched healthy controls. Physiological were...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been utilized already around three decades for monitoring the brain, in particular, oxygenation changes cerebral cortex. In addition, other optical techniques are currently developed vivo imaging and near future can be potentially used more human brain research. This paper reviews most common label-free technologies exploited their current potential clinical applications. Label-free tissue do not require addition of dyes or molecular contrast...

Abstract Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is commonly used as a non-invasive tool to measure cerebral neurovascular dynamics. Its potential for diagnostics of various brain disorders has been already demonstrated in many recent studies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). fNIRS studies are usually based on comparing hemoglobin measurements at baseline and during specific task. At present, proposed methods using diagnose AD involve certain tasks, which may be challenging the...

Obtaining parameters that characterize cerebral fluid interactions in the human brain is of high interest particularly as regards studies glymphatic system and relation to neurodegeneration diseases. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based techniques commonly measure hemodynamics using a combination wavelengths approximately between 650 nm 950 nm, where light lesser amount attenuated by water, enabling reach brain. By adding wavelength dominantly absorbed while still penetrating below skull,...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a common medical device to diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it not for all subjects due its cost and other issues. We investigated the potential of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) separate AD patients from controls as pre-screening prior more thorough examination using fMRI. For this purpose, two-channel fNIRS with 690 nm 830 nm, sampled at 10 Hz, was placed on forehead 3 cm distance between light source detector provide...

Abstract Background Inside the incompressible cranium, volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is directly linked to blood volume: a change in either will induce compensatory other. Vasodilatory lowering pressure has been shown result an increase intracranial pressure, which, normal circumstances should return equilibrium by increased efflux. In this study, we investigated effect (BPL) on fluorescent CSF tracer absorption into systemic circulation. Methods BPL was performed i.v. administration...

The Monro-Kellie doctrine states that the sum of contents intracranial cavity is constant, and consequently dynamics blood cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volumes should be in an anti-correlation relationship. This phenomenon helped to explain many abnormalities hypotension CSF depletion. We aimed validate same mice during a pressure (BP) lowering test. Eight 2–3-month-old C57/Bl6N (Charles River) female were used this study. both nicardipine hydrochloride sodium nitroprusside (SNP) infusion into...

Signal quality is crucial in any signal analysis. Typically, the reason for bad inappropriate sensor placement which also highly dependent on measurement location. It usually quite easy to get a good optical from finger, but not brain. This study aims provide real-time assessment method help clinical personnel of fNIRS sensors head ensure quality. was segmented each 10 seconds and band-pass filter at 0.5-3 Hz applied isolate cardiac band.

Obtaining parameters that characterize cerebral fluid interactions in the human brain is of high interest particularly as regards studies clearance and relation to neurodegeneration diseases (NDD). Furthermore, disturbances sleep affecting have been linked NDDs like Alzheimer's disease (AD). At present, polysomnography (PSG) methodological gold standard research being used labs. However, it does not provide direct information on dynamics which may be an important parameter activity during...

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has emerged as a promising economical point-of-care tool to enhance mitochondrial dynamics, mitigate neuroinflammation, improve sleep and cognitive functions in various CNS disorders. Its propensity modulate cerebrovascular tone can potentially alter cerebral hemodynamics. We set out investigate whether tPBM influence the brain oxygenation assessed by fNIRS healthy subjects with body positional challenge.
