Figure 3.
Effect of pilocarpine and pentylenetetrazol on neural activity and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in a representative anesthetized WT mouse as measured by simultaneous EEG and LSI. (A) Raw EEG trace demonstrating induction of SE by pilocarpine (pilo; 280 mg/kg, i.p.) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ; 120 mg/kg, i.p.). Green arrows denote injection times; blue numbers denote acquisition time of each numbered LSI image in panel B. (B) LSI images of CBF at single time points. (C) RMS power and flux (CBF as measured by LSI) overlay demonstrates a period of severe IHR (orange bar). Green arrows and blue numbers carried over from panel A. (D) Analysis of late-SE CBF (Flux) and RMS power at the time period denoted by the orange bar in panel C reveal a negative correlation.
