“…It was hypothesized that conjunctival irritation would induce increases in blood flow on the intact side of the forehead, mediated by reflex activation of parasympathetic vasodilator fibres in the facial nerve (Drummond, 1992(Drummond, , 1995a(Drummond, , 1995b. If rhythmic excitation of parasympathetic neurons induce vascular waves at 0.15 Hz (Perlitz et al, 2004a(Perlitz et al, , 2004b, the waves might strengthen on the intact side of the forehead during trigeminal-parasympathetic vasodilatation.…”
