Foreword
The publication of Cerebral Autoregulation by Stephen Payne is a landmark in the relatively brief, but rapidly evolving, history of cerebral blood flow regulation studies in humans. With this new book, newcomers to this field are privileged to have access to a thorough review of the background and techniques involved in studies of cerebral blood flow autoregulation. Although the concept and naming of this new area were proposed by Niels Lassen in 1959, textbooks that could be regarded as primers have been conspicuously absent, thus requiring anyone new to the field to study hundreds of journal pap
