Navigating on Internet is not even a fashion anymore, it has become
a must. It can be an expression of modernity, or a bridge toward the third
millennium. On the other hand, all the ones who started to navigate only
because it was fashionable, learned at their own expenses that it was an
adventure requiring a consistent amount of knowledge. The idea is thirty
years old. It was in 1964, in the middle of the cold war, that the US military
force invented Arpanet, a telecommunication network able to operate through
alternative connections if one of its routers were cut off by a nuclear
explosion. After this, Internet expanded as a phenomenon, but if it is
not taken back to "its boundless limits"as a means of communication, a
risk of an implosion could emerge, that is the risk of being reduced to
a mere cerebral game, a video game as big as the global computer network
that actually represents. Physicians can take advantage of Internet to
have access to a great amount of information, otherwise hard to find. We
have used it and we found it very useful in order to understand the current
trends of the research in cerebral circulation. A real problem for the
Internet users is to screen the huge amount of information. Therefore,
we supply hereafter some useful addresses to help the ones interested in
the latest news on topics related to physiopathology, clinics and therapy
of cerebral ischaemia.
