It is well known and researched, that deprivation of oxygen to the
brain can quickly result in irreversible damage and death. What is
less well known, is that some vertebrate species are exceptionally
tolerant of brain hypoxia. This text discusses the mechanisms of
brain hypoxia tolerance in these exceptional vertebrates, which
include diving marine mammals, high altitude dwellers and the
hibernating mammal. Special attention is given to the extraordinary
adaptations that allow a few turtle and fish species to tolerate
months of brain anoxia.
