Popis: Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is known to lessen the severity of sickle cell disease (SCD), through reductions in peripheral vaso-occlusive disease and reduced risk for cerebrovascular events. However, the influence of HbF on oxygen delivery to high metabolism tissues like the brain, or its influence on cerebral perfusion, metabolism, inflammation or function have not been widely studied. We employed a Berkley mouse model (BERK) of SCD with gamma transgenes q3 expressing exclusively human α- and β
