The International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (ISCBFM) is organized and operated exclusively for the purpose of promoting the advancement of education in science of cerebral blood flow and metabolism and related topics throughout the world.
The Society promotes research in cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolism and cerebral functions in physiological and pathophysiological states. Interests of members in the Society range from the molecular and genomic mechanism of Ischemia through to the clinical investigators of cerebral blood flow and metabolism.
The Society hosts biennial meetings in various locations throughout Asia, Europe and North America. The International Symposium on Cerebral Blood Flow, Metabolism and Function (Brain) and the International Conference on Quantification of Brain Function with PET (BrainPET) are held jointly and bring together a diverse group of investigators for the exchange of scientific information on regulation of cerebral blood flow and metabolism. The International Symposium of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism was first held in 1964, with subsequent meetings held approximately every two years. It wasn’t until 1981, however, that the Society was formally established.
At the time of the establishment of the Society, the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, started publication and continues to be a highly respected and cited publication that sees light on a monthly basis. It is relevant to neurologists, neurochemists, psychologists, pharmacologists, physiologists, biochemists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists and neuroscientists in general.
In addition to the biennial meetings and the Journal, the ISCBFM organizes “schools” to bring young and senior investigators together, and helps organize and run the Gordon Research Conference in Brain Energy Metabolism and Blood Flow.
