Effects of stimulation of splenic mechanoceptors on cerebral circulation

Summary

A study was made of the effect on certain cerebral circulation indices of stimulation of splenic mechanoceptors. The experiments were performed upon dogs under light morphine-chloroform anaesthesia. Records were made of the pressure in the circle of Willis, intracranial pressure, the general arterial pressure, and splenic volume. In most experiments a pressor response followed stimulation of the splenic mechanoceptors. These experiments showed that there was no parallelism between the changes in the general arterial pressure and changes in the cerebral circulation; this result suggests that reflex control of cerebral circulation is autonomous, and that splenic interoceptors may influence the circulation.
