Spinal cord atrophy in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 and 6 : impact on clinical disability.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Adequate cerebral blood flow (CBF) is mainly governed by neurovascular coupling (NC) which adapts local CBF to underlying cortical activity,and cerebral autoregulation (CA)that tends to maintain constant CBF despite changes in arterial blood pressure (BP). Since it was suggested that resistance vessels play ...
