| Abstract: | A hypothesis is presented that explains Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as a disorder of entrainment. This hypothesis fits the known characteristics of SIDS i.e., age at death, sleep-related, natural death and absence of a lethal lesion. The spectrum from reversible hypoxia (near-miss SIDS) to irreversible hypoxia (SIDS) can be explained by the presence or absence of brainstem lesions in infants with a disorder of entrainment. |
