Multifractal analysis of macro- and microcerebral circulation in rats

Application of noninvasive optical coherent-domain methods and advanced data processing tools such as the wavelet-based multifractal formalism allows revealing effective markers of early stages of functional distortions in the dynamics of cerebral vessels. Based on experiments performed in rats we discuss a possibility to diagnose a hidden stage of the development of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). We also consider responses of the cerebrovascular dynamics to a pharmacologically induced increase in the peripheral blood pressure. We report distinctions occurring at the levels of macro- and microcerebral circulation.
