The post‐arteriole transitional zone: a specialized capillary region that regulates blood flow within the CNS microvasculature

The brain is an energy hog, consuming available energy supplies at a rate out of all proportion to its relatively small size. This outsized demand, largely reflecting the unique computational activity of the brain, is met by an ensemble of neurovascular coupling mechanisms that link neuronal activit...
