Abstract
A close interrelationship between metabolism and blood flow in the brain was first postulated by Roy and Sherrington in 1890. In recent years, this idea has been extended and verified. Global measurements of whole brain metabolism and blood flow have already demonstrated a direct relationship among functional activity, metabolism, and blood flow (Ingvar, 1982). The more recent use of methods that allow determination of blood flow and metabolism in defined regions has disclosed notable differences among the regions. This heterogeneous blood flow, the result of varying local function and metabolic level, exists not only during resting conditions but also with activated brain function, e.g., during the performance of mental tasks.
