How does cerebral #BloodPerfusion map onto micro-, meso- & macro-scale brain structure? @asafarahani.bsky.social @misicbata.bsky.social &co characterize blood perfusion in the #HumanBrain, revealing how it changes with age & in #NeurodegenerativeDisease @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46AEURS
Normative blood perfusion map on lateral and medial views of the inflated and 2D flat cortical surfaces (fsLR). Borders and areal names of the multi-modal Glasser parcellation are overlaid on the flat surface. The figure highlights the non-uniform distribution of perfusion scores across the cortex, with areas that have sharp gradient compared to their underlying perfusion score levels (e.g., LIPv and MT/MST).
