Cholinergic modulation of neurovascular coupling in the rat somatosensory cortex

Neurovascular coupling, the increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) seen in areas of increased neuronal activity, is thought to reflect levels of neuronal activation. Acetylcholine (ACh) is known to affect the processing of thalamocortical sensory information, but its effects on the CBF response to so...
