title: Visual stimulation increases regional cerebral blood flow and metabolism in the goldfish.
abstract: Studies with radioactive antipyrene and deoxyglucose indicated that both blood flow and metabolism are enhanced in the goldfish optic tectum following a brief visual stimulation. It is concluded that the brain of cold-blooded animals demonstrates regionally regulated physiological alterations, previously reported only in warm-blooded species.
