Synopsis

This is the first study that used a combined arterial spin labeling (ASL) and resting-state fMRI approach to assess the neurovascular coupling in patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), which may provide a new mechanistic perspective into understanding numerous brain diseases.
