The fifth international meeting on Cerebral Haemodynamic Regulation (CARNet meeting) Co-sponsored by IPEM Physiological Measurements Special Interest Group

Southampton, UK, July 13th-15th 2015.

The meeting will cover the broad range of regulatory physiological mechanisms that maintain brain blood flow at appropriate levels in health and disease, and will include physiology, clinical applications and the engineering, physics and modelling that underpins mechanisms and measurements.

Cerebral blood flow is driven by blood pressure, arterial carbon dioxide levels, neuronal activation and cerebral metabolism, intracranial pressure, vasomotion, activity of the sympathetic nervous system, posture and other determinants. While cerebral autoregulation usually refers primarily to the physiological mechanisms that maintain blood flow during changes in blood pressure, the meeting will encompasses the wider field of cerebral haemodynamic regulation, including areas such as CO2 reactivity, neurovascular coupling and intracranial pressure control.

Location

The conference will be held in Chilworth Manor Hotel (http://www.chilworth-manor.co.uk/), a country hotel in a beautiful setting in a private park on the edge of Southampton.

Important Dates (to be confirmed)

  • First call for papers: 21 November, 2015
  • Abstract submission deadline: 23 March, 2015
  • Acceptance of papers: 1 May, 2015
  • Conference: 13-14 July, 2015
  • Working meetings: 15 July, 2015
