Tissue PO2 distribution was measured in rat cerebral cortex during arterial normoxia and arterial hypoxia. The study was designed to examine the relationship between the PO2 histograms determined with surface electrodes in the superficial cortical cells and with needle electrodes in the cortical laminae below. Under normoxic as well as under hypoxic conditions the PO2 distributions of the compared brain regions were in close agreement. The results indicate that PO2 measurements in the brain cortex with surface microelectrodes give a correct view over the tissue oxygenation in cortical regions up to 500 microns below the measuring field.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
