The possibility that the central dopaminergic and serotoninergic neuron systems inluence CBF [cerebral blood flow] under normocapnic and hypercapnic conditions was studied. The effect of unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesion of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway on local CBF (1-CBF) was measured autoradiographically with [14C]iodoantipyrine as the diffusible tracer. The lesion caused no major effect on CBF under normocapnic or hypercapnic conditions. The circulatory response to hypercapnia was slightly enhanced (.apprx. 10%) in the denervated caudate-putamen. Under hypercapnic conditions the pronounced increase in blood flow in the caudate-putamen may normally be modulated by a slight vasoconstriction caused by dopamine release from the nigrostriatal system. The effect of intraventricular 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine on cerebral metabolic rate for O2 (CMRO2) and CBF was evaluated using a 133Xe modification of the Kety-Schmidt inert gas technique. The lesion, which removed .apprx. 90% of cortical 5-hydroxytryptamine, had no effect on the circulatory response to hypercapnia, nor did it alter CMRO2. Under normocapnic conditions, though, the lesion seemed to induce a minor increase in CMRO2, indicating that the serotoninergic system exerts a depressant resting tone on metabolic rate in the brain.
