Human cortical pO2

Abstract

A human cortical pO2 rhythm similar to that described in cats was demonstrated. It bears close correlation to behavioral states such as weaking and slow wave sleep. Induced changes in cerebral blood flow, through carotid compression, has been detected as qualitative variations in local oxygen availability, at the oxygen cathode tip.
