We want to study the mouse brain vasculature networks which are mapped using multi-photon laser microscopy in Alzheimer's disease and Wild-type mouse models using a 1D non-linear model taking into account the complex rheological properties of blood flow in microcirculation. This model predicts blood pressure, blood flow and hematocrit distributions, volumes of functional vascular territories, regional flow at voxel and network scales, etc. We may extend this project to 3D model as well.
