Relative Contributions of Sympathetic, Cholinergic, and Myogenic Mechanisms to Cerebral Autoregulation [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— Our results suggest that myogenic effects occur outside the active region of autoregulation, whereas neurogenic influences are largely responsible for cerebral blood flow control within it. However, our model of cerebral autoregulation left 38% of the cerebral pressure–flow relationship unexplained, suggesting that there are other physiological mechanisms that contribute to cerebral autoregulation.
