Abstract
Optical excitation of the dye rose bengal by tightly-focused 532-nm laser light induces clot formation in individual blood vessels in rat cortex. Changes in blood flow during and after clot formation are observed using two-photon microscopy. We find that flow reverses direction downstream from clotted arterioles, thereby maintaining tissue perfusion.
