Distribution of Cerebral Blood Flow at Rest and During Mental Activation in Normals and in Patients with Brain Disorders

  • Conference paper
Book cover Brain and Heart Infarct

Abstract

The cerebral blood flow is normally controlled by the oxidative metabolism of the nervous tissue (“metabolic regulation of CBF”) (12). Hence, measurements of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) mirror regional functional changes in the brain. By means of multidetector devices and isotope techniques based upon residue detection (16), functional landscapes’ in the brain (8) or cerebral ‘ideograms’ (7) can be recorded at rest and during different forms of sensory-motor and mental activity.

The author was supported by the Swedish Medical Research Council (project No. B75-14X-00084-12A), by the Wallenberg and the Thuring Foundations in Stockholm.
