Acceleration induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) is a major fighter aviation medicine problem. To effect an ultimate solution for G-LOC it is critical to have a thorough understanding of the problem. Research related to unconsciousness is spread across a multitude of disciplines. It is therefore a valuable exercise to develop the overall scope of relevant research that pertains to G-LOC. This not only serves to bring together the body of information that is important for understanding G-LOC, it also provides for the development of the scope of importance that G-LOC research has for other specific and clinical disciplines. The purpose of this review is to establish the relationship between biomedical research whose primary goal is aviation oriented and the clinical and basic research that is intricately associated with unconsciousness and may benefit from the results of G-LOC research.
