    Vascular autoregulation: retina as a non-invasive biomarker for the brain
    Velaedan, Shajan ( 2016)
    The retinal vasculature maybe a useful surrogate for the brain blood vascular network. There has yet to be a direct comparison of the capacity of vessels in the eye and brain to respond to changes in blood pressure or blood gas concentration. We showed that arteries in the rat’s eye and brain demonstrated qualitatively similar vascular autoregulatory capacity in response to a wide range of blood pressure and different blood gas concentrations.
