Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has a number of clinical applications. However, the
effects of acute HBO on basal cerebral blood flow (CBF) and neurovascular coupling are not …

A hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system to measure and quantify in vivo haemodynamic and
metabolic signals from the exposed cerebral cortex of small animals was designed …

Neurons and the underlying vascular structure that maintains the nutrients necessary for
their normal function are intrinsically linked. The relationship between neural activity and its …

Theories of neurocognitive aging rely heavily on functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) to test hypotheses regarding the brain basis of age-differences in cognition. This …

The NMDA receptors have been discovered to be crucial regulators in vasodilatory signaling
pathway. Activation of NMDA receptors expressed by neurons causes calcium entry, which …

'Here is a broom, go and sweep the floors.''But I have a PhD...''Oh sorry, give me the broom,
I'll show you how it's done.'Hoewel ik alles relativeer, besef ik dat ik vandaag trots mag zijn …

Neuronal activity is tightly coordinated with blood flow to ensure proper brain function. This
is achieved by neurovascular coupling. Although this mechanism is maintained by …

In Part II of this chapter, we intend to show the significant advances and results concerning
aerosols' tropospheric monitoring in South America. The tropospheric lidar monitoring is …

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is associated with various pathological and
neurological processes that affect perforating arterioles, capillaries and venules. The …

In comparison to its weight the brain needs extensive amounts of blood to supply oxygen
and glucose to glia and neurons and to eliminate metabolic waste. Although brain weight …
