Fetuses of 12 near-term sheep were prepared for microsphere determination of cerebral blood flow. Experiments were performed 5 days postsurgery. The regional blood flows were measured in successive high (HV), low (LV) and high voltage electrocorticographic states. Comparisons were made between the observations made in the LV and averaged flanking HV cycles. Total cerebral blood flow was 95 +/- 8, 119 +/- 11 and 100 +/- 9 ml/min/100 g in HV, LV and HV, respectively. Low voltage electrocortical activity increased average cerebral blood flow by 22% (P less than 0.01). Significant changes were seen in all regions except the occipital cortex. The maximum change was observed in the thalamus in which the flows were 152 +/- 23, 243 +/- 35 and 138 +/- 20 ml/min/per 100 g tissue, respectively. The increase was 68% (P less than 0.001). The percent changes seen in the cerebrum are as follows: Frontal grey + 18%, frontal white + 22%, parietal white + 22%, temporal + 18%. A + 17% change was seen in the cord (P less than 0.03). It is concluded that in low voltage electrocortical activity all of the brain, except the occipital region, shows an increase in cerebral blood flow. This is probably secondary to a variance in cerebral activity. This preparation may be useful in localizing function in the fetal brain.
