Cerebral Circulation
➢ Anterior circulation –supplies the neocortex– evolutionarily younger
➢ Posterior Circulation predominantly the brain stem & cerebellum
➢ Circle of Willis
Wei Ling Lau, B Huisa and Mark Fisher,2017 Transl Stroke Res, 8:67–76
Renal Circulation➢ Renal artery direct
branch of the aorta
➢ 3-5 Segmentalarteries
➢ Interlobar arteries runsbetween therenal pyramids
➢ Arcuate Arteries between the renal cortex & medulla

Cerebral Microvasculature is notUniform
➢ Perilous blood supply
➢ Some areas more vulnerable than others
➢ Long medullary arterioles-deep WM
➢ Short medullary vessels- corpus callosum, ‘U’ fibers
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology (2011), 37, 56–74AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 1990; 11: 431–9
The Brain & Kidney are both pulsatile organs
➢Unlike most other organs, the kidneys andthe brain pulsate in rhythm with the heartbeat
➢They are both low resistance end organs
➢Both are consequently exposed to continuous blood through out the cardiac cycle
➢Both get very high volume blood flow for them to to do their function

“Strain Vessel” Hypothesis
➢ Juxtamedullary Glomerular Afferent arterioles, central retinal artery & perforators of MCA-ACA & PCA
➢ therefore have to maintain a strong vascular tone
➢ from the hemodynamic point of view, these are small and short vessels
➢ that are exposed to a high pressure and
➢ in order to provide a large pressuregradient in a short distanceDO N

STRAIN-VESSEL HYPOTHESIS-KIDNEY
➢ Juxtamedullary nephrons are more prone to hypertensive injury
➢ They have to deal with very higher pressures
➢ Maintain high vascular tone
Ito et al, HYPERTENSION RESEARCH -2009
STRAIN VESSEL HYPOTHESIS-CNS
➢ Analogousto the glomerular afferent arterioles are the perforating end vessels of the brain and the central retinal artery
➢ Are exposed to high pressureand have to maintain strong vascular tone in order to provide large pressure gradients from the parent vessels to the capillaries.

Autoregulation in the Kidneys
➢ The brain and kidney are similar in that bothorgans have high blood flow rates and havelocal autoregulation
➢ Autoregulation allows constant renal blood flow despite fluctuations in BP and maintains GFR in the kidney, prevents barotrauma of glomerular capillaries
➢ Macula densa tubuloglomerular feedback& myogenic reflexes of the vascular smooth muscle arterioles mediate this response.

THE NEUROVASCULAR UNIT
➢ Neurons, Astrocytes, and Endothelial cells form single functional unit (neurovascular unit) to maintain thehomeostasis of the brain’s internal milieu.
➢ Emphasizes the unique relationship between brain cells and the cerebral vasculature
Jessen et al, Neurochem Res (2015) 40:2583–2599 Iadecola C. Neuron, 2017
THE NEUROVASCULAR UNITprovides quick energy
➢ Brain needs a large amount of energy- lacks a reservoir to store fuel for use when needed-quickly and precisely
➢ This close coupling allows the brain to adjust its blood flow needs – at the right time, place and amount

The GLYMPHATIC System
Neurochem Res (2015) 40:2583–2599
Glymphatic system clears waste by Convection ForcesA: CSF enters the brain parenchyma via periarterial pathways by Convection, washes out solutes from the interstitial space and empties along the veins.
B: with Aging, there is loss of the polarity of the aquaporin channels on the astrocyte end feet and hence less effective Glymphatic System clearance
C: In AD- dilated Perivascular Spaces because of blocked spaces from accumulation of Beta Amyloid

CONCLUSIONS1) Functional similarities between the arterial
supply of the kidney and brain
2) Strain vessel hypothesis could explain how these vessels become vulnerable
3) The neurovascular unit helps meet energy the brains high energy demands
4) The glymphatic system is unique and important waste clearance system in the brain
5) Clinical Imaging of the small vessels is still challenging
