redistribution of cerebral bloodflow following sympathectomy!

SM Mueller, DD Heistad and ML Marcus

Effect of sympathetic denervation in dogs.
Total and regional cerebral blood flow during hypotension, hypertension, and hypocapnia.

The major new findings in this study are,
first, that hypotension produces a redistribution of CBF which tends to preserve blood flow to brainstem and to
cerebral gray matter...
