A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EXCISED CEREBRAL TISSUES OF ADULT AND INFANT RATS

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.
