| | Our research is focused on the development of clinical methods for monitoring cerebral autoregulation and improved models of intracranial pressure dynamics. We are investigating changes in CBF and loss of cerebral autoregulation during hypoxia and asphyxia, changes in cerebrovascular pressure transmission, and methods to evaluate cerebrovascular autoregulation. The research team has access to equipment to work on piglet models of asphyxia and head-injury, and clinical recordings for laboratory analysis at the University of Memphis. Collaboration with Neurological Sciences Institute, Glasgow Scotland, enables laboratory participants to send laboratory recordings for their group to evaluate. |
