The posterior communicating artery (PCOM) is a part of a group of arteries in the brain known as the circle of Willis. The artery connects the internal carotid and the posterior cerebral arteries.

The anterior cerebral artery supplies blood to parts of the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. Also known as the ACA, it is one of a pair of arteries essential to delivering oxygen to the brain.

UCLA researchers have discovered a non-invasive method to measure vascular compliance, or how stiff an artery is, in the human brain, a finding that may have ramifications for preventing stroke ...
