Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human brain during gas challenges. Instead of normal air, the participants inhaled either pure oxygen (hyperoxia condition), or 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide (hypercapnic hyperoxia). Yellow (hyperoxia) and green (hypercapnic hyperoxia) overlays of regions of significant signal response in 14 children at any of five time successive periods during the challenges. Multiple brain regions responded to hyperoxia, but the addition of 5% O2 by CO2 greatly reduced most responses.
