Abstract

Changes in electroencephalogams (EEG) and cerebral blood flow were examined in carp immobilized with a muscle relaxant during 60 min hypoxia (water Po2 of approximately 20 mmHg) and subsequent 30 min normoxia. The amplitude of EEG waves recorded from the telencephalon decreased gradually but slightly with the progression of hypoxia, whereas the telencephalic blood flow increased mainly due to an increased blood velocity. These findings suggested that cerebral activity during hypoxia was compensated to some degree by increased cerebral blood flow. However, carp showed large variations in the patterns of EEG responses and cerebral blood flow.
