Abstract
Age and gender do not have major influence on the 3 major cerebrovascular regulation mechanisms. Our results also pinpoint the fact that neurovascular stress tests measure different aspects of cerebrovascular control, and that their outputs are uncorrelated and cannot be used interchangeability. Being independent of age and cognitive status, neurovascular stress tests seem adequate for studying several cerebrovascular conditions affecting the aging brain.
