Disturbed Ion Gradients in Brain Anoxia

AJ Hansen

Anoxia profundly affects brain function. If the blood flow is interrupted for a few minutes, the interstitial fluid shows a dramatic increase of potassium and lowering of sodium, chloride, and calcium concentrations, which lead to arrest of nerve conduction and synaptic transmission. These changes, however, cannot explain that consciousness is lost within seconds. This may be caused by activation of potassium conductance in nerve cell membranes.
