Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the way in which anoxia may give rise to certain physiochemical changes in the brain resulting in very direct and striking changes in behaviour. It is concluded that the sensory and mental impairment which occurs in normal human subjects under the experimental conditions of anoxia described may be attributed to the diminished partial pressure of oxygen in the blood being delivered to the nervous tissue.
