Abstract
The focus of this article is on the results of quantitative studies in human infants. The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolic rate is lo w in newborn infants. The regulation of CBF appears largely normal in healthy term and preterm infants. CBF and metabolic abnormalities in h ypo-and hypertension and hypoglycemia after asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage and during seizures are discussed. This article reviews cur rent clinical research methods.
