Neurovascular communication is initiated by neuronal activity, which drives the production of IP3 by PLC, in turn initiating a propagating Ca2+ wave. Ca2+ waves arriving at the endfoot activate TRPV4 channels in a positive-feedback loop that further enhances their spread, ultimately leading to the stimulation of Ca2+-sensitive ion channels and enzymes.
