Description
Elsevier Brain Activation And Cbf Control by M. Tomita , I. Kanno , E. Hamel
These proceedings cover the basic physiology that underlies neurovascular coupling. The methodology supporting this data utilises tools for mapping brain functions such as functional MRI, PET, optical imaging, NIR's, etc. Topics include neuroimaging physiology, neurovascular mediators, cerebral microcirculation, and the relationship between these.
