Preliminary observations on cranial cardiovascular changes during asphyxia in the newborn foal.
This paper describes preliminary experiments designed to test the hypothesis that cerebral damage is caused by cardiovascular events involving explosive changes in cerebral blood flow during birth. These events may be responsible for the convulsive episodes of foals suffering from the neonatal maladjustment syndrome.
