Abbas Yaseen, PhD Instructor Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School “Exploring Cerebral Metabolism in the Rodent Cortex with Optical Microscopy” ABSTRACT: Obtaining a detailed understanding of cerebral energetics is vitally important for advancing our knowledge of brain function. Additionally, impairments in mitochondrial function, cerebral oxygenation, and blood flow are symptomatic of several debilitating neuropathologies. Investigating brain metabolism at a microscopic level is therefore essential for developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for...
