Description
The Regulation of Cerebral Blood Flow presents a comprehensive review of recent literature on the mechanisms by which cerebral blood flow is matched to the metabolic requirements of the brain. Topics covered include techniques for monitoring cerebral blood flow; the intrinsic properties of cerebral vascular smooth muscle fibers; the neuronal regulation of vascular tone; metabolic factors released by brain cells; and changes in cerebral blood flow regulation in the neonate and aged, diabetics, hypertensives, and migraineurs. The book will benefit neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiologists, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and others interested in this critical area of vascular function.
