Using a time-sharing fluorometer-reflectometer, pyridine nucleotide (NADH) and flavoprotein (Fp) fluorescence, and reflected light at the excitation wavelength, were measured and correlated with the electrical activity of an awake cerebral cortex. Exposure of the rat to a N2 atmosphere (anoxia) led to an increase in signals representing the reduction of pyridine nucleotides and flavins, with very similar kinetics. Inducement of partial ischemia by bilateral carotid artery ligation led to an increase in NADH, accompanied by a very small effect on the electrical activity (ECoG [electrocorticogram]). In most animals, 2-3 h after ligation, the ECoG became flat or depressed. Exposure of this ischemic cerebral cortex to KCl solution caused depression of the electrical activity without metabolic response probably due to the limitation of O2 supply. The metabolic state of an awake cerebral cortex was identified by exposing the brain to various levels of O2, epileptiform activity, spreading depression, hyperbaric pressure of O2 and an uncoupler. The awake cerebral cortex is close to the resting state, state 4, rather than to the active state, state 3.
