Abstract
A. ACTION OF EPINEPHRINE ON PIAL VESSELS Since the publication in 1928 of a paper from this laboratory on the vasomotor control of the cerebral vessels1 with a preliminary description of the effect of epinephrine on the arteries in the pia-arachnoid, several facts have come to light which make it desirable to review critically our earlier findings. These facts have been secured partly through our own recent work and partly through that of others. In 1931, Riser, Mériel and Planques,2 studying the pial vessels in dogs and cats through a cranial window such as we have used, concluded that intravenous and intracarotid injections of epinephrine in various dosage caused dilatation of the arteries in the pia. Occasional exceptions to this response were noticed. The local application of epinephrine to the surface of the brain caused constrictions (or "slight diminutions in caliber" as the authors preferred to term them)This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
