In animals with permanently installed cranial windows the effects of certain drugs on the pial arteries were as follows:
Avertin and carbon dioxide caused vasodilation.
Alcohol, dial, nembutal, metrazol and acetanilide were followed by little if any immediate change in vessel caliber.
Acetanilide, by mouth, caused cyanosis visible in the pial circulation.
The presence or absence of general anesthesia did not appear to influence the results noticeably, but recent operative exposure seemed to increase the dilator effect of some drugs.
