In two groups of normotensive rats anaesthetised with halothane, either the nasociliary nerve (NCN) or the NCN and parasympathetic (PS) fibres together (NCN-PS) were functionally blocked at the right ethmoidal foramen. Blocking was achieved reversibly and repeatedly using a cooling probe. Cortical regional CBF (rCBF) was measured bilaterally using laser-Doppler probes. In Group 1, bilateral common carotid occlusion (CCO) was applied for 1 min both with and without block. In Group 2, CCO was applied permanently followed by stages of controlled haemorrhagic hypotension to deepen the ischaemia and the block applied at each stage. In Group 1, during CCO, rCBF was unaffected by blocking NCN-PS. However, during the transient postocclusive hyperaemia, blocking NCN-PS, but not NCN alone, significantly increased right side rCBF. In Group 2 and in Group 1 in the absence of CCO (normotension), rCBF was unaffected by blocking either set of fibres. We conclude that neither NCN nor PS fibres contribute to the tonic level of rCBF or to its autoregulatory control, but PS fibres conduct impulses tending to resolve postischaemic hyperaemia. We suggest that a subpopulation of PS fibres containing neuropeptide Y is activated under conditions of supernormal rCBF.
