Abstract, Project 4 During NREM sleep, large waves of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow appear in the brain. Neural slow waves precede these CSF flow waves by several seconds, suggesting that coherent neural activity could drive CSF flow by inducing large-scale neurovascular coupling. This project will test the hypothesis that the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural activity regulate how CSF flows in the human brain. We will optimize and integrate multiple novel MR technologies to image CSF flow in the ventricles and in perivascular spaces, with simultaneous measures of neural activity using EEG, and hemodynamic responses using fMRI. In Aim 1, we will test whether spatiotemporally patterned neural activity is linked to CSF flow, measured during well-established visual tasks. In Aim 2, we will test whether the dynamics of spontaneous neural activity during sleep are coupled to CSF flow at multiple spatial scales. In Aim 3, we will identify how activity in basal forebrain and locus coeruleus, which release norepinephrine and acetylcholine, is linked to the relationship between coherent neural activity and CSF flow. Together, these Aims will test how neural activity is linked to CSF flow across sleep and wakefulness in the human brain, from ventricles down to perivascular spaces. Project 4 will contribute to the overall U19 goals by determining the link between neural activity and CSF flow at multiple spatial scales. By performing whole-brain imaging in humans, we can test how both local and global neural dynamics are linked to CSF flow in the tiny perivascular spaces and in the much-larger ventricles. By interacting with Project 2, our EEG-based measures of neural coherence will be linked to cellular-level measures of neuronal activity, with both our projects testing the link to CSF flow in the perivascular space. Our interactions with Project 3 will be critical to inform how neuromodulators shape vascular dynamics, and how neurovascular coupling is altered across sleep and wakefulness. Finally, our continuous interactions with Project 1 will be essential in order to determine which empirical measurements are needed to fully specify the model, and then update the model to make further predictions.

摘要，项目4 在NREM睡眠期间，大脑中会出现脑脊液(CSF)流动的大波。神经慢波 在这些脑脊液流动波之前几秒钟，这表明连贯的神经活动可以驱动脑脊液 通过诱导大规模的神经血管耦合而流动。这个项目将检验时空关系的假设 神经活动的动力学调节脑脊液在人脑中流动的方式。优化整合多个 脑室和血管周围间隙脑脊液流动的磁共振成像新技术 使用脑电测量神经活动，使用功能磁共振成像测量血流动力学反应。在目标1中，我们将测试 时空模式的神经活动与脑脊液流量有关，这是在良好的视觉任务中测量的。 在目标2中，我们将测试睡眠中自发神经活动的动力学是否与脑脊液流量有关。 在多个空间尺度上。在目标3中，我们将确定基底前脑和蓝斑是如何活动的，这 释放去甲肾上腺素和乙酰胆碱与连贯神经活动和脑脊液的关系有关 流。总而言之，这些目标将测试神经活动如何与睡眠和清醒状态下的脑脊液流动有关 人脑，从脑室到血管周围的空间。 项目4将通过确定神经活动和脑脊液之间的联系来促进U19的总体目标 在多个空间尺度上流动。通过在人类身上进行全脑成像，我们可以测试局部和 全球神经动力学与微小的血管周围空间和大得多的脑室中的脑脊液流动有关。 通过与项目2的互动，我们基于脑电的神经一致性测量将与细胞水平联系起来 测量神经元的活动，我们的两个项目都测试了与血管周围空间脑脊液流动的联系。我们的 与项目3的相互作用将是了解神经调节剂如何塑造血管动力学以及如何 神经血管偶联在睡眠和清醒过程中会发生变化。最后，我们与Project的持续互动 1将是必不可少的，以便确定需要哪些经验测量来完全指定模型， 然后更新模型以做出进一步的预测。
