Abstract
Previous work (RAPELA et al., Circulat. Res. 21, 559–568, 1967) indicated that the carotid sinus reflex has no influence on the cerebral vascular tone and on the auto regulatory responses of cerebral blood flow to changes in perfusion pressure. Also, most workers have observed that the cervical sympathetic has none or slight effect on the cerebral vasculature. Recently (D’ALECY and FEIGL, Fed. Proc. 29, 520, 1970) it has been postulated that stimulation of the stellate ganglion, or nerves arising from it to the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion of the dog, produces marked constriction of the cere bral vasculature.
