Brain Research December 1, 1987 A D Weissman, M Dam, E D London
The effects of phencyclidine (PCP; 0.5, 1,5, 10 mg/kg, i.v.) on local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) in the rat were studied with the 2-deoxy-D-[1-14C]glucose method. Significant findings were obtained in 41 of 87 brain regions of PCP-treated rats (25-270% of control). Rates of LCGU increased throughout the limbic system, except the habenula. Although LCGU increased in most sensory...
