Abstract
This paper presents a model for control of cerebral blood flow based on flow in collapsible tubes, i.e. a Starling resistor; and demonstrates that the venous pulse wave is derived from the systemic arterial pulse as modified in the arterioles, that the CSF pulse wave (CSFPW) is a reflection of the venous pulse wave (VPW), and that changes in the CSFPW indicate changes in autoregulation and may have significant clinical value.
