What happens when the brain is starved of oxygen on a regular basis?
Anoxia is damaging to brain cells. Without O2, cellular respiration will not function, which means that brain cells must use up what little reserves they have in the way of cellular energy (called ATP) to maintain their membrane potentials. Without restoration of O2 cells will become necrotic (i.e., their membrane potential will run down, they will lyse and die). Often this will be accompanied by neighbouring cells becomming apoptotic (programmed cell death).
