Blood vessels play a critical role in supplying tissues with nutrients          and gases while removing wastes.  In the brain, blood vessels play an           additional role in protecting nerve tissue from fluctuations of                 constituents that may occur elsewhere in the body.  How blood vessels           in the brain play this dual role is the subject of the research covered         in the present proposal.                                                                                                                                        The work proposed here focuses on the blood vessels in amphibians and           reptiles.  These animals have a unique arrangement of vessels in the            brain and it is proposed that the arrangement itself plays an important         role in how the vessels work.  Understanding how these unique vascular          systems work will allow the PI to understnd the advantages and                  limitations to other vascular arrangements.
