Biological sex modulates dynamic cerebral autoregulation and its directional sensitivity

Key Points

• To examine how biological sex impacts dynamic cerebral autoregulation and its directional sensitivity.
• Assessed dynamic cerebral autoregulation in males and females during physiological stress.
• Measured directional sensitivity at a frequency of ~0.10 Hz OLBNP in participants.
• Females demonstrated superior dynamic cerebral autoregulation compared to males.
• Females displayed greater directional sensitivity at ~0.10 Hz OLBNP.
