1 GRADUATE SCHOOL Graduate school in Canada is a unique experience varying widely across universities, faculties, and sometimes within the same laboratory. Projects differ in scope, timelines shift unpredictably, and domains of study are individualized to each student's interest. However, a common feeling or perception emerges as a near-universal phenomenon for graduate students in physiology: imposter syndrome (Feigofsky, 2022).

1 INTRODUCTION Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a fundamental regulatory mechanism within the cerebrovasculature and refers to the ability of the cerebral blood vessels to dampen changes in blood pressure (Brassard et al., 2021; Panerai et al., 2023). Originally, it was proposed CA functioned to maintain cerebral blood flow constant at ∼50 mL/min/100 g brain tissue across a wide range of perfusion pressures (50–150 mmHg) (Lassen, 1959; Paulson et al., 1990).

1 INTRODUCTION The neurovascular unit comprises the interactive cellular network responsible for the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and blood–brain barrier integrity that synergistically preserves neuronal, glial and vascular homeostasis (Kaplan et al., 2020).
