Greetings,
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I would like to invite you to join us at the XXVth International Symposium on Cerebral Blood Flow, Metabolism and Function and the Xth International Conference on Quantification of Brain Function with PET to be held in Barcelona, Catalonia—Spain in 2011.
The meeting will cover several aspects within the area of neuroscience research, particularly those related to brain function and metabolism, cerebral blood flow, the function of the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier, brain imaging, and cerebrovascular pathology. The aim is to present the state-of-the art and novel discoveries that will increase our understanding of brain function under physiological and pathological conditions, and the most promising investigations in brain protection and neuroregeneration. Leading scientist in these fields, members of the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (ISCBFM) and other outstanding scientists will participate as in previous biannual meetings of the ISCBFM. The scientific committee is actively working to create an attractive scientific program that we hope will be of your interest.
Barcelona is a lively, cosmopolitan, and charming Mediterranean city where modernity and tradition concur to give a harmonic flavor of old and new. Art and culture find their maximal exponents in the Gothic town, Gaudi and Modernistic architecture, and works of masters, such as Picasso, Dalí, Miró, and Tapies. The sea side and pleasant climate, the Mediterranean food, and many local Catalan and Spanish traditions that are of touristic interest, will surely make your attendance to this meeting most enjoyable.
We feel honored to host the Brain’11 & BrainPET’11 and we are very pleased to welcome you to this event.
See you in Barcelona!
Anna M. Planas
Conference Chairwoman
