Learning Objectives:

 

1. Changes in hemodynamic forces during hyperemia are
sensed by the vascular endothelium;
2. Genetic manipulation of Piezo1 in endothelial cells alters
functional hyperemia and cognition;
3. Endothelial cell Piezo1 function shapes the hyperemic
responses in the brain by facilitating a mechano-feedback
system.

Please note that OHRI seminars are open to all members of OHRI and partner institutions. Members of the general public are asked to contact the communications office (jganton@ohri.ca) for more information about the research presented at OHRI seminars.
