Bilateral Asymmetry of Rat Brain Calcium

Eugene Streicher 1

1 From the Section on Aging, Laboratory of Psychology, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland

Values ranging between 2.2 and 9.0 mEq/kg were found for the calcium content of rat brain. In half the tissues examined, the figures for the two halves of the same brain differed from each other by more than 100%. Evidence is presented which indicates that values in excess of approximately 2–3 mEq/kg probably represent calcium deposition in nonparenchymal structures of the brain.
