CO2 signalling mediates neurovascular coupling in the cerebral cortex
Patrick Steven Hosford, Jack A. Wells, Shereen Nizari…·Alexander V. Gourine
This study shows that CO2 signalling is critical for neurovascular coupling in the somatosensory cortex, as disrupting CO2-sensitive vasodilation or HCO3-/CO2 transport abolishes the response to neuronal activity.
