Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

The brain was impregnated with silver by B. N. Klosovskii's method, and the newly-formed capillaries were counted in serial sections. In rats and in cats it was found that both in different parts of the brain as well as in different cortical areas, the majority of new capillaries are formed by way of offshoots which develop at various times postnatally. Their formation is associated with the functional and morphological maturation of the corresponding nerve centers. Capillary branching ceases first in the brain stem and in the subcortical areas; after birth the process continues longest in the cerebral and cerebellar cortices.
