  "textContent": "Blood vessels in the brain are highly interconnected and efficient in actively regulating blood flow. Yet, the mechanisms that regulate flow are not well studied on a holistic level. To determine how the brain can reliably control such a seemingly complicated network, UC San Diego Professor of Physics David Kleinfeld and Postdoctoral Scholar Ji Xiang formulated a mathematical model that uses the measured connections among vessels to predict the impact of a change in a single vessel on the flow through all the other vessels.",
