Results are presented in percentage. For Panels a–d: Row: particle release location, Column: particle exit location. Core: core release, N_W: near-wall release. Panels e–h: mass flow rate ratios for the models on the left, right side of the CoW and the overall ratio for the three perfusion territories. Flow from BA is included in the overall value
