Primer on Cerebrovascular Research provides both clinical and basic cerebrovascular knowledge that is required for physicians, vascular researchers, biomedical students, and trainees to understand or conduct evidence-based clinical practice and cutting-edge experimental research. This book outlines how to a design experimental cerebrovascular research in the context of clinical relevance, conduct the study using proper methods, analyze the data accurately, and make conclusions in an unbiased and statistically correct way. Chapters will include representative examples and experimental protocols.
