Abstract
The Mongolian garbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has an incomplete circle of Willis, lacking a major posterior communicating artery (7). Unilateral ligation of the common carotid artery in the neck under barbiturate anesthesia produces cerebral infarction in approximately 80% of animals. Neurological deficit and death follows in 80% of those sustaining an infarct.
