    Blood flow and the organ of thought

    blood supply to any part of the cerebral tissue is

    varied in accordance with the activity of the chemiccal

    changes which underlie the functional action of that

    part -- Roy & Sherrington, 1890

    We must suppose a very delicate adjustment whereby

    the circulation follows the needs of the cerebral

    activity. Blood very likely may rush to each region ofthe cortex according as it is most active, but of this we

    know nothing. -- W. James, 1890

    18F-2-DeoxyglucoseBrain Facts:

    1. The brain is 2% of the body

    weight.

    2. The brain receives 11% of the

    cardiac output.

    3. The brain consumes 20% of the

    bodys energy.

    Question:

    Can activationsaccount for this

    high energy consumption?

    Blood flow and the organ of thought

    The brain requires blood for:

    General support of maintenance functions, like

    every organ - requires energy (ATP)

    Specific localized support of functional activity

    related to neural activity - requires energy (ATP)

    Blood supplies substrates for energy production:

    Glucose and oxygen
