FIGURE 8

Radial oxygen gradient as a function of cortical depth 400 μm (a), 1 mm (b), and 2 mm (c) below the cortical surface. Top row also shows the oxygen tension gradient in the molecular layer (a) as a vector field at 400 μm and 1 mm. In-plane radial oxygen gradients of three arterials (I–III) are displayed in the left hand column (Panels A1, B1, C1). The right hand column shows in-plane oxygen tension as a function of distance to arterioles (I). The simulated oxygen gradient agrees with trends observed in vivo in the rat cortex9 in panels A2 to C2.
