The myogenic response is central to blood flow regulation in the brain. Its induction is tied to elevated cytosolic [Ca(2+)], a response primarily driven by voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and secondarily by Ca(2+) wave production. Although the signaling events leading to the former are well studied, those driving Ca(2+) waves remain uncertain.
