Abstract

Controlled inertial loading of the head was used in an experimental setting producing varying degrees of ischemic changes in the brains of subhuman primates. The finding should be considered in the context of the development of improved head injury tolerance criteria, in that a threshold exists for ischemic brain damage as a function of acceleration of the head through the mechanism of strain- dependent vasoreactivity.
