Differences in the cerebrovascular anatomy of C57black/6 and SV129 mice

K Maeda, R Hata, KA Hossmann - Neuroreport, 1998 - journals.lww.com
THE vascular architecture of the brain of C57Black/6 and SV129 mice was studied following
microvascular injection of carbon black stained latex. The dorsal brain surface was
photographed to determine the number, diameter, and position of pial anastomotic vessels
between the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. The mean number and diameter of
anastomoses were not significantly different, but the line of anastomoses interconnecting the
half way points of anastomotic vessels was located significantly closer to the midline in …
