From hydraulic and biochemical considerations, in-vivo hypoperfusion or hypoxia would be expected to occur more frequently during intense workload than in basal conditions of the tissue concerned. What dramatic examples of this can be cited? Myocardium in tachycardia or skeletal muscle in acute exercise seem obvious examples to consider, but how about brain regions during intense sensory stimulation, or kidney under high osmotic demad.
Please provide citations, thank you.
In response to intense sensory stimuli (e.g., extreme pain or strong emotional reactions), certain brain regions (e.g., amygdala and prefrontal cortex) may experience localized hypoperfusion and hypoxia. This condition may lead to a temporary decline in cognitive function, affecting decision-making and responsiveness
Thanks so much, Mina. Do you have a reference at hand for this?
