Abstract
This paper analyzes high-resolution simulations of intracortical blood flow and transport to understand the macroscopic transport properties in the brain microcirculation. It finds that network-driven anomalous transport leads to critical regions of hypoxia or high amyloid-β concentration, relevant to Alzheimer's Disease. A Continuous-Time Random Walk (CTRW) theory is developed to capture these dynamics, predicting that critical regions appear earlier than expected under mild hypoperfusion. The findings provide a framework for understanding microvascular dysfunction in brain diseases.
