Brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor, dynamic retinal vessel responses during flicker light and stroke risk: the SABPA study
Wentzel, Annemarie; Malan, Leoné; Von Känel, Roland; Smith, Wayne; Malan, Nicolaas (Karger, 2019)Assessment of the retinal vessels’ structure and function provides an automated and objective approach to noninvasively assess the condition of the cerebral microvasculature and indicates susceptibility for stroke. ... -
Heart rate variability and the dynamic nature of the retinal microvasculature: providing insight into the brain-retina-heart link: the SABPA study
Wentzel, Annemarie; Malan, Leoné; Von Känel, Roland; Smith, Wayne; Malan, Nicolaas (Karger, 2019)Controversy exists regarding the contribution of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to the retinal microvasculature’s autoregulatory capacities. It was demonstrated that mean retinal vessel responses to systemic sympathetic ... -
Stress and neurovascular coupling: a red flag? The SABPA study
Malan, Leoné; Hamer, Mark; Von Känel, Roland; Smith, Wayne; Steyn, Faans; Malan, Nicolaas (Karger, 2019)Neuronal hyperactivity mediates communication between neurons and blood vessels (neurovascular coupling) and increases susceptibility for retinal ganglion cells functionality. Contrastingly, monoamine depletion and ...
