	<description>&lt;p&gt;Evans Conference Room, WEB 3780&lt;br /&gt;Warnock Engineering Building, 3rd floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abstract:&lt;/b&gt; Neural network models can now simulate entire brain sections resolved to individual cells. The roles of neurovascular and neuroglial interactions are less well understood. We have developed the first bidirectional model of the neurovascular unit, comprising synaptic activity, glia, and arterioles. It is a mechanical, electrical, and biochemical model with several interactional feedback loops. We will describe the biological system, model ODEs, and validation with experimental literature.&lt;/p&gt;
