Abstract
The various parts of the adult rat brain have different metabolic rates and in the following order, cerebral cortex, brain stem, cerebellum, and medulla. With huge doses of alc]. and pharmacological amts. of pentobarbital the absolute depression of metabolism is greatest in the cerebral cortex. On a % basis the brain stem is least affected. Cerebral tissue of newly born rats is less sensitive than that of adults to alc. and pentobarbital.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
