Pathophysiology of Anoxic Brain Damage

  • Chapter
Biology of Brain Dysfunction

Abstract

In clinical medicine, anoxia and ischemia rank near the top as common causes of brain injury under circumstances that affect every period of life from the stresses and strains of birth to the stroke-prone years of old age. Every biologist knows that the brain depends overwhelmingly on oxygen to generate its energy supply, and this constant requirement has often led to the viewpoint that anoxia and ischemia damage nervous tissues by identical mechanisms.
