The association between carotid blood flow and resting-state brain activity in patients with cerebrovascular diseases

Abstract Cerebral hypoperfusion impairs brain activity and leads to cognitive impairment. Left and right common carotid arteries (CCA) are the major source of cerebral blood supply. It remains unclear whether blood flow in both CCA contributes equally to brain activity. Here, CCA blood flow was eval...
