Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blood pressure is one of the four vital signs of life, the leading risk factor for stroke, and the leading modifiable risk factor for morbidity and disability burden globally, underscoring its critical importance to human health. The association between blood pressure and brain health is complex. Both high and low arterial blood pressure are implicated in adverse brain outcomes, and defining an ideal blood pressure for brain health remains challenging across the lifespan. The objective of this Special Issue, “The Impact of Blood Pressure on Neurological Outcomes”, is to streamline this field of research and inform novel lines of investigation on blood pressure and cerebral blood flow in relation to neurological outcomes. The Special Issue will encompass a full scope of research and experimental designs from basic science, in vivo models, genetics, clinical trials, original research, and review papers.
The Special Issue intends to bring together research with broad applications to brain health, including but not limited to neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions in foetuses, neonates and children, cognitive function, stroke, cerebral small vessel disease, dementia, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, migraine and depression.
