Abstrakt: This article informs that alterations in arterial pressure may alter cardiovascular autonomic tone, not only through carotid sinus and aortic arch liaroreceptors, but also through changes in central nervous system perfusion, a phenomenon known as the Cushing reflex, or the central nervous ischaemic reflex. Since the vascular bed of the central nervous system is encased within the rigid skull and spinal canal, central nervous perfusion pressure may be lowered either by reduction of the arterial pressure or by raising intracranial pressure so that the intracranial venous system is partially collapsed.
