Summary
Experiments were carried out on 23 anesthetized dogs, and heparin was injected. The pulse wave was recorded simultaneously at various points of the cerebral vascular system. It was shown that the pulse wave appeared at all points simultaneously, 57–63 milliseconds after the blood entered the aorta. This result confirms the idea that the cerebrospinal fluid plays a definite part in acting as a shock absorber and in transmitting the pulse wave through the cranial cavity.
