Abstract

In this study, from the information-theoretic viewpoint, we analyzed the interrelation between the spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations around 0.1Hz in the hemoglobin concentration in the cerebral cortex, mean arterial blood pressure and the heart rate. For this analysis, as measures of information transfer, we used transfer entropy (TE) proposed for two-factor systems by Schreiber and intrinsic transfer entropy (ITE) introduced for further analysis of three-factor systems by extending the original TE. In our analysis, information transfer analysis based on both TE and ITE suggests the systemic cardiovascular fluctuations alone cannot account for the cerebrovascular fluctuations, that is, the regulation of the regional cerebral energetic metabolism is important as a candidate of its generation mechanism Such an information transfer analysis seems useful to reveal the interrelation between the elements regulated each other in a complex manner.
