Changes in both regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and postsynaptic muscarinic cholinergic activity in the rat brain were investigated after ligation of the common carotid arteries (CCAs) bilaterally with (15)O-labeled water (H2(15)O) and [11C]N-methyl-4-piperidylbenzilate, a potent muscarinic receptor antagonist.
