In the present study we used multimodal fMRI to quantify
in the human visual cortex the effects of mild hypoxic
hypoxia on stimulus induced variations of cerebral blood
flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), BOLD signal, as
well as oxygen consumption (CMRO2) and oxygen extraction
fraction (OEF) during visual stimulation. Hypoxia
produced substantial reductions in the active volumes
detected in BOLD, CBF and CBV images, which might
indicate smaller cortex recruitment. The brain regions
commonly activated during hypoxia and normoxia had
reduced BOLD amplitudes and smaller OEF reductions, but
no changes in the amplitude of vascular and CMRO2
responses.
