The human brain constitutes 2% of the body's total mass but uses 20% of the oxygen. The
rate of the brain's oxygen utilization can be derived from a knowledge of cerebral blood flow …

Quantitative measurements of brain perfusion are influenced by perfusion-modifiers.
Standardization of measurement conditions and correction for important modifiers is …

Prolonged (excessive) sitting is detrimentally associated with cardiovascular, metabolic and
mental health. Moreover, prolonged sitting has been associated with poor executive …

During acute hypoxic exposure, cerebral blood flow (CBF) increases to compensate for the
reduced arterial oxygen content (CaO2). Nevertheless, as exposure extends, both CaO2 …

Objectives To review the current evidence on the acute effects of interrupting prolonged
periods of sitting with intermittent physical activity (PA) on cognition in healthy populations …

Background Understanding how vascular and metabolic factors impact on cognitive function
is essential to develop efficient therapies to prevent and treat cognitive losses in older age …

Gaining insights into brain oxygen metabolism has been one of the key areas of research in
neurosciences. Extensive efforts have been devoted to develo** approaches capable of …

Brain function is highly altered by glucose toxicity related to diabetes. High consumption of
sugar in normal conditions is suspected to affect as well brain integrity. The present study …

Background: Epidemiologic evidence on dietary carbohydrates and stroke risk remains
controversial. Very few prospective cohort studies have been conducted in Asian …

Purpose Venous oxygenation (Yv) is an important index of brain physiology and may be
indicative of brain diseases. A T2‐relaxation‐under‐spin‐tagging (TRUST) MRI technique …
