- W3092736802 abstract "Nutrient delivery to the brain presents a unique challenge because the tissue functions as a computer system with in the order of 200,000 neurons/mm3. Penetrating arterioles bud from surface arteries of the brain and penetrate downward through the cortex. Capillary networks spread from penetrating arterioles through the surrounding tissue. Each penetrating arteriole forms a vascular unit, with little sharing of flow among vascular units (collateral flow). Unlike cells in other tissues, neurons have to be operationally isolated, interacting with other neurons through specific electrical connections. Neuronal activation typically involves only a few of the cells within a vascular unit, but the local increase in nutrient consumption is substantial. The metabolic response to activation is transmitted to the feeding arteriole through the endothelium of neighboring capillaries and alters calcium permeability of smooth muscle in the wall resulting in modulation of flow through the entire vascular unit. Many age and trauma related brain pathologies can be traced to vascular malfunction. This includes: 1. Physical damage such as in traumatic injury with imposed shear stress as soft tissue moves relative to the skull. Lack of collateral flow among vascular units results in death of the cells in that vascular unit and loss of brain tissue. 2. Age dependent changes lead to progressive increase in vascular resistance and decrease in tissue levels of oxygen and glucose. Chronic hypoxia/hypoglycemia compromises tissue energy metabolism and related regulatory processes. This alters stem cell proliferation and differentiation, undermines vascular integrity, and suppresses critical repair mechanisms such as oligodendrocyte generation and maturation. Reduced structural integrity results in local regions of acute hypoxia and microbleeds, while failure of oligodendrocytes to fully mature leads to poor axonal myelination and defective neuronal function. Understanding and treating age related pathologies, particularly in brain, requires better knowledge of why and how vasculature changes with age. That knowledge will, hopefully, make possible drugs/methods for protecting vascular function, substantially alleviating the negative health and cognitive deficits associated with growing old.
