abstract="The significance of the intracranial acceleration pressure pattern at impact to the intact skull in production of brain damage is discussed, particularly as regards the contre-coup pressures. A rigid fluid-filled cylinder was connected to the skull cavity of rabbits; the cylinder was impacted and the intracranial contents acted as a contre-coup end. The pressure pattern was also modified by injection of small quantified air volumes. The pathophysiological effects of &quot;experimental brain concussion&quot; with vasomotor and respiratory disturbances which occurred were related to the contre-coup pressures produced, particularly the magnitude of subatmospheric pressures and the duration of late positive pressures. Some implications on their significance for brain tissue flow are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
