Abstract
The O2 uptake of minced normal brain is increased by 40% in O2 over that in air. The avitaminous cerebrum, under the same conditions, increased in uptake by 30%. With the avitaminous mixed optic lobes and parts below there was often no increase in some cases; the average increase did not exceed 20%; upon addition of vitamin B1 concentrates there was a partial restoration of O2 uptake in vitro and this action was destroyed by alkali as is vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is directly concerned with the oxidation metabolism of the lower parts of the pigeon''s brain.
