Resumen
[ES]El objetivo del presente estudio es explorar la reactividad del flujo sanguíneo cerebral, la
presión arterial, el periodo cardiaco y la frecuencia respiratoria en 35 sujetos sanos en respuesta
a una tarea aritmética. Se registró la arteria cerebral media (MCA) y la arteria cerebral anterior
(ACA) de ambos hemisferios mediante la ecografía funcional transcraneal Doppler (fTCD). La
reactividad respiratoria fue registrada mediante el análisis de la frecuencia de ciclos
respiratorios. Los índices del sistema hemodinámico fueron obtenidos mediante el registro de
la presión sanguínea de forma continua y oscilométrica y mediante un electrocardiograma. Tras
el análisis de todos los registros se ha encontrado un aumento de la velocidad del flujo
sanguíneo cerebral, la presión arterial y la frecuencia respiratoria y una disminución del periodo
cardiaco durante la realización de la tarea aritmética. No se han encontrado correlaciones
significativas entre el rendimiento en la tarea y los parámetros fisiológicos. Tampoco se han
encontrado diferencias entre arterias en el cambio de la línea base a la tarea, pero sí en la
disminución de los niveles durante la recuperación, siendo la disminución de la velocidad del
flujo en ambas MCA mayor. Estos resultados muestran la implicación de mecanismos
fisiológicos en el ajuste a las demandas cognitivas.
[EN]The purpose of the present study is to explore the reactivity of cerebral blood flow, blood pressure, heart period and breath frequency in 35 healthy subjects during the execution of an arithmetical task. Blood flow velocities in the middle (MCA) and anterior (ACA) cerebral arteries were assessed using functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCA). Records of hemodynamic system were obtained using continuous and oscillatory blood pressure recordings and with an electrocardiogram. In addition, breath reactivity was measured by means of respiratory circles frequency. Records show a rise in cerebral blood flow velocities, blood pressure and breath frequency, whereas heart period decrease. Cognitive performance was not associated with physiological parameters. No differences were found between the four arteries in the change from baseline to task, but both MCA have the greatest change in the reduction of the cerebral blood flow in the recovery period. These results suggests the implication of physiological mechanisms in the adjustment to cognitive demands.
