Q

To compensate for varying in energy demand throughout the brain and to increase efficiency of metabolite supply, ______________ and _________ coupling mechanisms have evolved to enhance __________ and utilization of ___________ in areas of neural activity.

A

To compensate for varying in energy demand throughout the brain and to increase efficiency of metabolite supply, NEUROVASCULAR and NEUROMETABOLIC COUPLING mechanisms have evolved to enhance BLOOD FLOW and utilization of METABOLITES in areas of neural activity.
