Summary
To reveal newly formed capillaries the brain of normal adult rats was impregnated with silver by B. N. Klosovskii's method.
The possibility of formation of new capillaries in various portions of the brain of adult rats was established. In 6 of the 10 cases newly developing individual capillaries were revealed. By their external appearance these did not differ in any way from those developing in the nervous system of young animals.
