Abstract

In the present communication we report the effect of controlled hypoxia, of severe hypercapnia and its recovery upon the metabolic state and the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex in cats. We investigated also the influence of high carbon dioxide tensions in brain metabolites and EEG, maintaining a sufficient oxygen supply to the brain. In the hypoxia experiments the pCO2 was low. The oxygen tension was decreased to such a degree that the EEG disappeared.Isoelectric EEG was also obtained by high CO2 concentrations (2,6,8).
