Disorders of the Cerebral Circulation

  • Chapter
Biology of Brain Dysfunction

Abstract

The delivery of metabolic substrates to cerebral tissue depends on the flow of blood to and in the brain. To develop rational methods for treating patients with cerebral vascular disorders, including ischemic infarcts, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhages, and other less common conditions, the mechanisms for the regulation of cerebral blood flow must be understood, and the ways in which the mechanisms are affected or modified by abnormal circumstances must be delineated. Complete interruption of the supply of blood to the brain, with cessation of delivery of oxygen, glucose, and other substrates, causes irreversible impairment of neuronal function and death of cells within 4–5 min. With the more ordinary kinds of ischemic cerebral vascular lesions, however, delivery of substrates to brain cells is decreased to a variable degree: in many regions of ischemic brain, blood flow is maintained (at a reduced level) through collateral channels. Although the time required for irreversible impairment of neuronal function under these circumstances is unknown, it may be as long as several hours. Thus therapeutic measures that can increase the delivery of metabolic substrates to cerebral tissue may prevent irreversible damage to neurons.
