Hypercapnia and hypocapnia produce cerebral vasodilation and vasoconstriction, respectively. However, regional differences in the vascular response to changes in Paco2 in the human brain are not pronounced. In the current study, these regional differences were evaluated. In each of the 11 healthy subjects, cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured using 15O-water and positron emission tomography at rest and during hypercapnia and hypocapnia. All CBF images were globally normalized for CBF and transformed into the standard brain anatomy. t values between rest and hypercapnia or hypocapnia conditions were calculated on a pixel-by-pixel basis. In the pons, cerebellum, thalamus, and putamen, significant relative hyperperfusion during hypercapnia was observed, indicating a large capacity for vasodilatation. In the pons and putamen, a significant relative hypoperfusion during hypocapnia, that is, a large capacity for vasoconstriction, was also observed, indicating marked vascular responsiveness. In the temporal, temporo-occipital, and occipital cortices, significant relative hypoperfusion during hypercapnia and significant relative hypoperfusion during hypocapnia were observed, indicating that cerebral vascular tone at rest might incline toward vasodilatation. Such regional heterogeneity of the cerebral vascular response should be considered in the assessment of cerebral perfusion reserve by hypercapnia and in the correction of CBF measurements for variations in subjects' resting Paco2.

✓ Effects of intravertebral, intracarotid, and intravenous infusion of acetylcholine on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism were studied in 17 baboons anesthetized with pentobarbital. We measured CBF by the bilateral jugular venous outflow technique using two electromagnetic flowmeters. Effect of acetylcholine infusion on cerebral vascular response to hypercapnia was also assessed. Intravertebral infusion of acetylcholine (0.01 mg/kg/min) increased CBF by 27% and cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen by 19% and decreased cerebral vascular resistance by 25%. On intracarotid injection of acetylcholine, only an 8% increase in CBF was observed, and intravenous infusion produced no change in the parameters observed. Acetylcholine administered by any of the three routes did not enhance the CBF response to hypercapnia. Increase in CBF on intravertebral administration of acetylcholine is associated with an arousal effect and an increase in cerebral metabolism.
