Paired neuronal-haemodynamic neurovascular coupling measures and cognitive performance in vascular pathology: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Neurovascular coupling (NVC) links neuronal activity to haemodynamic responses. Altered NVC may contribute to cognitive impairment in vascular pathology, but evidence is limited by inconsistent definitions and by the conflation of paired neuronal–haemodynamic NVC measures with haemodynamic-only, model-derived, or...
