Dissecting Inhibitory Circuit Control of Neurovascular Coupling

The brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in the body, yet it has no energy reserves. To function properly, it relies on a finely tuned process that increases local blood flow whenever neurons become active: a process known as neurovascular coupling (NVC). This link between brain activity and blood flow is what allows brain imaging techniques like functional MRI (fMRI) to visualize “brain activity.”
