Abstract
The oxygen environment of the central nervous system is both of fundamental interest and of practical clinical importance in that this is the most sensitive organ in the body to acute and chronic hypoxia and it has the least powers of recovery from damage of any tissue. It is also of interest that the CNS shows a differential regional sensitivity to hypoxia which appears to be related to the phylogenetic development of the different areas; the ‘higher’ and more recently developed centres being more sensitive to oxygen lack than the ‘lower’ centres. The reasons for this difference are not understood.
