Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Tissue Oxygenation in Awake, Behaving Mice
… optimizes oxygen supply to respiring cells (‘functional hyperemia’). Recent studies of functional hyperemia in awake rodents shows a bimodal arteriole diameter increase when neural activity is prolonged, indicating at least two primary control mechanisms for an early and late phase. However, …

Retinal Ischemia in the In Vivo Rodent: Cellular and Vascular Characteristics
… is among the leading causes of vision loss. The functional and cellular effects of acute loss of blood flow have not been investigated fully, and current treatments only address secondary complications of ischemic damage. This work has developed new tools with which to investigate retinal blood …

Modelling Blood Flow & Oxygen Transport in the Active Brain
… that area increases; this phenomenon is termed functional hyperemia, but it remains incompletely understood. In this thesis, a novel mathematical model of blood flow and oxygen transport in the active brain is developed and used to investigate three aspects of the functional hyperemia response. …
