Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional oxy-gen extraction fraction (rOEF) and regional cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (rCMRO2) were measured using the continuous inhalation technique for 15O with positron emission tomography (PET) during both wakefulness and sleep. Ten paid volunteers, with a mean age of 21.6 yrs., were deprived of sleep for a period of approximately 20 hours, and the ex-periments were performed mostly in the morning. 15Oactivity of both whole blood and the plasma, pixel count of PET, total arterial blood oxygen content were used for analysis of rCBF, rOEF and rCMRO2. PET scannings were carried out mostly during the very light non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, i. e. stage 1 and/or 2, and wakefulness. About 10 min-utes after the start of continuous inhalation of 15O gas, the 15O activity of the brain was found to be in a steady-state condition. During this steady-state condition, PET scannings were performed for about 10 minutes. Regions of interest, square in shape and having an area of 2.8 cm3, were set in each cortex on PET images of a horizontal cross-section of the brain, set at 45 mm above the orbitomeatal line. The rCBF and rCMROz were analysed in 5 of 10 male subjects during both wakefulness and NREM sleep, and only 3 were done during three sleep stages, in-cluding REM sleep. Levels of rCBF and rCMRO2 were found to be decreased in NREM sleep, and the decreasing rates were calculated at 10.2% and 7.6% from the level of wakefulness, respectively. There was no significant difference in the mean value of rOEF between wakefulness and NREM sleep. There were no significant regional differences found in the rate of decrease among the frontal, temporal and oc-cipital cortices. It was considered that the decrease of rCBF and rCMRO2 during NREM sleep suggested a decrease of the activity levels in the cerebral func-tions.
