Steven S. Segal, Univ. of Missouri-Columbia |
This afternoon’s workshop follows from the morning President’s Symposium. Each speaker from the morning session will give a 25-30 minute presentation in which they discuss the underlying experimental techniques and procedures that were used to acquire the images and functional measurements presented earlier. Dr. Balaban will explain methods for imaging metabolic signals in light of microvascular perfusion in response to contractile activity of striated muscle. Dr. Iadecola will present methods for evaluating local regulation of cerebral blood flow in response to regional neural activity. Dr. Mcgavern will explain how fatal immune-mediated vascular injury is observed in the virally-infected CNS. Dr. Dickinson will present methods for intravital monitoring of hemodynamic forces underlying vascular development. Each presentation will be followed by 5-10 minutes of discussion. Dr. Segal will give a brief introduction and mediate the ensuing questions and discussion.
