...t of vasoactive signals generated by endfeet. This vasodilation was restricted to a short stretch of the vessel centered on the endfoot, suggesting that endfeet function as individual “vasoregulatory units” in the brain. One of many implications of this work is that any disruption of astrocytic function will comp......ide and (4) induced blood pressure changes through vasodilation in hamster blood microvessels.
