Abstract
Tissue nitric oxide (NO) was measured in rat somatosensory cortex using NO-sensitive electrochemical microsensors during functional activation of the brain by electrical stimulation of the forepaw, while simultaneously measuring cortical blood flow by laser Doppler flowmetry. Measurements show a rapid increase in NO which precedes the rise in cortical blood flow, suggesting that NO plays an important role in coupling cerebral blood flow with neuronal activity.
