Studies on the regional blood flow in cat brain

Third report. Effects of electrical stimulation on regional blood flow in certain areas of brain

Abstract

Using a thermoelectrical method, the relationship between EEG changes induced by electrical stimulations in brain stem reticular formation, hippocampus and septum and changes in the regional blood flow of the corresponding area was examined. Regional blood flow and temp. increased in accordance with the degree of changes in the EEG. Thus it appears that there is a great correlation between brain function and regional blood flow.
