Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is used to treat a
number of ailments. Previously, during HBO at 3
atmospheres absolute fMRI studies, it was observed that
BOLD response to an evoked stimulus was not washed out
as a result of highly increased oxygen concentration.
Additional experiments were performed to evaluate the
potential contributions of stimulus-evoked inflow, spin
density, and electrical activity to BOLD fMRI responses
under HBO. CBF and BOLD fMRI of forepaw stimulation in
anesthetized rats was performed under HBO and compared
with normobaric air .
