Main description:

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology, physiology, and contemporary and novel applications of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) measurements. The chapters in this book cover topics such as an introduction of the neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and clinical methods for CVR measurement; the use of CVR methods in the study of aging, cerebrovascular dysfunction, dementia, and brain tumors; and recommendations for measurement protocols and future applications in clinical translation. In Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your research center and clinical investigation.

Thorough and comprehensive, Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Methodological Advances and Clinical Applications is a valuable tool that provides researchers in neuroscience and neurology with the latest resources on the measurement, interpretation, and application of CVR measurement.
