Abstract:

Direct measurements of CBF in MCA and VA demonstrate its significant decrease with age; however, it is not closely correlated with cognitive brain function and symptoms of dementia. This means that there is some physiological mechanism which prevents brain functional disturbances with age decrease of CBF. Recently it has been shown that mechanism responsible for circulatory support of brain activity is based on functional integration of cerebro-vascular system, CSF?mobility inside craniaspinal cavities and biomechanical properties of skull as united structure. Aim of the present investigation is to investigate age peculiarities of dynamics of every component.
