Abstract
We have performed simultaneous measurements of the DC-magnetoencephalogram (DC-MEG) and DC-electrocorticogram (DC-ECoG) in rats (n = 6) subjected to 90 s of reversible anoxia. The onset of major shifts of electric and magnetic signals occurred at 52 ± 18 (S.D.) and 68 ± 14 (S.D.), respectively, and reached a peak at 83 ± 27 and 102 ± 19 (S.D.) s, respectively, after termination of mechanical ventilation. DC-ECoG signal deflections were always associated with DC-MEG deflections. The time of onset and peak signals in both DC-MEG and DC-ECoG changes caused by asphyxia were highly correlated (r + 0.83, 0.94; P < 0.05, 0.001; respectively). Our observations suggest that the non-invasive technique of DC-MEG is reliable and may provide insight into the mechanisms of anoxic cerebral depolarization.
