The Cutting Edge Lectures in Science are introductions for the general public to the latest research in science.

In English. 

By Edith Hamel (Professor, Neurology and Neurosurgery, McGill). Dr. Hamel focues on interactions between neurons, astrocytes and microvessels that assure a proper blood supply to activated brain areas, a phenomenon commonly referred to “neurovascular coupling.”. These interactions are at the basis of several brain-imaging techniques that use hemodynamic signals to map changes in brain activity under physiological and pathological conditions.
