This Brief
provides a comprehensive introduction to the control of blood flow in the
brain. Beginning with the basic physiology of autoregulation, the author goes
on to discuss measurement techniques, mathematical models, methods of analysis,
and relevant clinical conditions, all within this single volume. The author draws
together this disparate field, and lays the groundwork for future research
directions.

The text
gives an up-to-date review of the state of the art in cerebral autoregulation,
which is particularly relevant as cerebral autoregulation moves from the
laboratory to the bedside. Cerebral
Autoregulation will be useful to researchers in the physical sciences such
as mathematical biology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering whose work
is concerned with the brain. Researchers in the medical sciences and clinicians
dealing with the brain and blood flow, as well as industry professionals
developing techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT will alsofind this Brief
of interest.
