Synopsis
The use of ultrasound combined with microbubbles to open the blood-brain barrier is an increasingly common method in clinical and preclinical research. This work describes the effect of this BBB opening method on brain perfusion in rats, using pCASL sequence. Surprisingly, through a dynamic analysis, we observed a long time hypoperfusion spreading in the brain cortex following sonication. A similar phenomenon has been described in studies where cortical spreading depression (CSD) has been induced.
