History
Technical improvements in the study of cerebral blood flow pioneered by Niels Lassen and David Ingvar in the mid-twentieth century drove demand for meetings dedicated to the discipline. In 1965, the first regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF) symposium was held in Lund, Sweden. In March 1980, following discussions between Bo K. Siesjö and Louis Sokoloff, a steering committee society was formed, including Sokoloff, Siesjö, Konstantin A. Hossman, Igor Klatzo, Eric Mackenzie, Marcus Raichle, Martin Reivich, and Fred Plum. The International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism was first announced at the 2021 rCBF meeting in St. Louis, Missouri.{{cite journal |last1=Paulson |first1=Olaf B. |last2=Kanno |first2=Iwao |last3=Reivich |first3=Martin |last4=Sokoloff |first4=Louis |title=History of International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism |journal=Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism |date=2012 |volume=32 |issue=7 |pages=1099–1106 |doi=10.1038/jcbfm.2011.183 |pmid=22186671 |pmc=3390811 |url=https://www.iscbfm.org/assets/docs/jcbfm2011183a.pdf |access-date=11 June 2022}}
