Is dynamic cerebral autoregulation impaired in glaucoma?
Enhanced transmission of oscillations in MAP onto CBFV in NPG and POAG indicates impaired cerebral autoregulation and might contribute to an increased risk of cerebrovascular disorders in these diseases.
These results suggest that rats, as well as human poor performers, share similar traits to those observed in decision-making related psychiatric disorders. These traits could constitute risk factors of developing such disorders. The rapid identification of poor decision makers using the rat gambling task should promote the discovery of the specific brain dysfunctions that cause maladapted decision making.
