Electrochemical Failure of the Brain Cortex Is More Deleterious When it Is Accompanied by Low Perfusion [Basic Sciences]

Conclusions—
The results suggest that electrochemical failure of the cortex is more deleterious when it is accompanied by low perfusion. Thus, the commitment point of the cortex is not a universal value but depends on additional factors, such as the level of perfusion.
