Abstract: Objective To assess the distribution pattern of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in healthy middle-aged or elderly people by using breath holding functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods Twenty-five middle-aged or elderly people were recruited and performed an fMRI with a breath holding task. Statistical parametric mapping 8 (SPM8) was applied in data processing to analyze the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal changes induced by breath holding. Differences in signal changes during breath holding were detected among the cortical territory supplied by the anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery and basal ganglia regions. Results Increased BOLD signal induced by breath holding widely distributed in gray matter cortices and subcortical gray matter nuclei. The lowest percentage of BOLD signal change (PSC) was detected in the basal ganglia regions (P<0.001), and the posterior cerebral artery regions showed the highest PSC (P<0.05). Conclusion Breath holding fMRI is a convenient and reliable method for CVR assessing. Among healthy middle-aged or elderly people, the basal ganglia regions shows the lowest CVR while the PCA territory the highest.
