Cerebral Blood Flow: Quantifying Consciousness explores the critical role of the brain and its blood flow. This collection of chapters stems from the 5th International Symposium on Applied Physiology of the Peripheral Circulation, held in Pittsburgh in June 2000. The volume is organized into four logical sections. The initial papers delve into the unique physiology and pathophysiology of cerebral circulation, including a historical perspective on measuring cerebral blood flow over the past 30 years. Dr. Walter D. Obrist, a pioneer in using radiolabeled markers for assessing cerebral blood flow, provides foundational insights into current methodologies. The brain's circulatory features, including the blood-brain barrier function of the endothelium, local neural regulation, and intracranial pressure effects, are examined in detail. Additionally, genetic factors that may predispose individuals to cerebral aneurysms are discussed, forming the core of the initial section. Overall, this volume presents a comprehensive overview of the complexities of cerebral blood flow and its implications for understanding consciousness.
