Two-photon imaging of cortical surface microvessels reveals a robust redistribution in blood flow after vascular occlusion.

A highly interconnected network of arterioles overlies mammalian cortex to route blood to the cortical mantle. Here we test if this angioarchitecture can ensure that the supply of blood is redistributed after vascular occlusion. We use rodent parietal cortex as a model system and image the flow of r...
