For the first time, the feasibility of measuring vasoreactive changes in SCBF to a carbogen challenge in healthy rats was shown. Different areas of the spinal cord show different reactivity with a high degree of reproducibility. These preliminary results highlight the potential of the developed technique in the investigation of the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
