Approaching the brain from a global view, one starts with the impression that vision is encoded in occipital cortex, movement in frontal cortex, and parietal cortex is involved in the transformation from vision to action. However, things are not that simpl ...

Haemodynamic response
In haemodynamics, the body must respond to physical activities, external temperature, and other factors by homeostatically adjusting its blood flow to deliver nutrients such as oxygen and glucose to stressed tissues and allow them to function. Haemodynamic response (HR) allows the rapid delivery of blood to active neuronal tissues. Since higher processes in the brain occur almost constantly, cerebral blood flow is essential for the maintenance of neurons, astrocytes, and other cells of the brain.
