A schematic illustration of the neurovascular unit (NVU) in the cerebral cortex shows a brain capillary with branching arterioles contacted by star-shaped astrocytes, a neuron with a myelinated axon, pericytes along the vessel wall, and ramified microglia within brain parenchyma. In neuroanatomy and cerebrovascular physiology, this cellular ensemble in the central nervous system (CNS) regulates cerebral blood flow (CBF) and maintains the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The hierarchy depicted is individual neural and vascular cells embedded within cortical tissue surrounding the cerebral microvasculature.
