This Briefprovides a comprehensive introduction to the control of blood flow in thebrain. Beginning with the basic physiology of autoregulation, the author goeson to discuss measurement techniques, mathematical models, methods of analysis,and relevant clinical conditions, all within this single volume. The author drawstogether this disparate field, and lays the groundwork for future researchdirections. The textgives an up-to-date review of the state of the art in cerebral autoregulation,which is particularly relevant as cerebral autoregulation moves from thelaboratory to the bedside. CerebralAutoregulation will be useful to researchers in the physical sciences suchas mathematical biology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering whose workis concerned with the brain. Researchers in the medical sciences and cliniciansdealing with the brain and blood flow, as well as industry professionalsdeveloping techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT will also find this Briefof interest.
