title: Correlation between brain blood flow and catecholamine levels in rat brain areas under hypobaric hypoxia.
abstract: Hypobaric hypoxia induces an important increase in the cerebral blood flow in all areas and more particularly in the bulb and hypothalamus; the increase in the cerebral blood flow allows for an oxygen intake sufficient to maintain the norepinephrine level in these structures.
