  • Investigating the acute physiologic affects of hypoxia on cerebrovascular, neurochemical and metabolic function in the brain. These studies involve:
    • utilizing arterial spin labeling to measure cerebral blood flow
    • BOLD imaging to measure changes to neurovascualr coupling,
    • Proton MRS investigations of excitatory and inhibitory neurometabolites
    • functional MRS to probe neural activity independent of vascular complications
