This presentation by Brian Sweetman, conducted at the LPPD Group Seminar on May 28, 2010, explores recent advances in computational models aimed at understanding brain vasculature. The discussion highlights the significance of mesh refinement on the distribution of terminals, with a comparison between grid-based and non-grid simulations. Key findings include improved outcomes in vessel cluster distribution using optimized mesh grids. Additionally, ongoing projects and future goals emphasize the collaborative efforts in generating vascular trees, studying vessel-tissue interactions, and completing a revised spinal canal research paper.
