Simulation study of brain blood flow regulation by intra-cortical arterioles in an anatomically accurate large human vascular network: Part I: Methodology and baseline flow

►Simulations of baseline blood flow in a large human intra-cortical vascular network. ►The vascular architecture is correlated to the hemodynamic pattern at voxel scale. ►Visualization of the vascular territories of intra-cortical arterioles and venules. ►Assessment of the extent of venous contamination from sites of neuronal activation.
