TL;DR
The local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) in the caudate nucleus was investigated in experiments on unanesthetized newborn rats by determing the rate of hydrogen saturation of the brain tissue and the cerebral blood volume was studied by plethysmography.
Abstract
The local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) in the caudate nucleus was investigated in experiments on unanesthetized newborn rats by determing the rate of hydrogen saturation of the brain tissue and the cerebral blood volume was studied by plethysmography. LCBF in newborn animals was found to be considerably lower than in adults. Inhalation of CO2 by newborn, unlike by adult rats, did not cause an increase in LCBF and the cerebral blood volume also remained unchanged.
