Abstract: Pial arterioles form an interconnected network that distribute blood across the cortical mantle and source nourishment to brain cells. Far from a passive network, the diameter of these arterioles intrinsically oscillate in the ~ 0.1 Hz vasomotor band. The pial arterioles integrate activity from neighboring arterioles, underlying neurons, and subcortical nuclei to produce space-time patterns of coherent oscillations. I will discuss optical and MR experiments and their analysis that seek to understand these patterns and exploit them to infer neuronal activity
