Abstract
The cerebral circulation maintains constant blood flow in arterial hypotension (8) and raised intracranial pressure (ICP) (4) within the limits of its capacity. Both decrease the transmural pressure across the cerebral resistance vessels, and it has seemed reasonable to assume a probable identity of mechanisms for autoregulation in the two circumstances, at any rate as far as the intracranial vessels have been concerned.
