Aim of the event:
To bring together researchers & clinicians from neuroscience and the cardiovascular field to teach each other and enhance understanding of neurovascular coupling and its potential clinical consequences.

Topics: 

• Methods in neurovascular coupling research
• Sex differences in metabolic syndrome-driven inflammation
• Neurovascular inflammation in atherosclerosis
• Modulating cerebral blood flow and neurovascular coupling in humans
• Industrial session
• Poster sessions including poster pitches

Target group:
Early career and established researchers & clinicians working in the field of neurovascular coupling, neurodegenerative, neurovascular, and metabolic diseases.  

Learning Objectives: 

• Describe various methods used in neurovascular coupling research, including their applications and limitations, e.g. imaging, omics, gene manipulation.
• Identify the differences in inflammatory responses between sexes and their implications for neurovascular health.
• Evaluate the role of neurovascular inflammation in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.
• Discuss clinical findings and case studies to enhance understanding of neurovascular coupling in metabolic brain diseases.
• Discuss the latest industrial advancements and their potential impact on research and treatment of neurovascular dysfunction.
