THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF AVE
CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW INCREASES
Most cognitive and emotional disorders (depression, ADHD, one type of
anxiety, cognitive decline in seniors/drug users) involve areas of the brain
that are low (hypoperfused) in blood flow. A 1985 study showed AVE
increased cerebral blood flow up to 28%, peaking at 7.8 Hz (Fox & Raichle,
1985).
