Microsurgical study of the pre-central, central and post-central arteries of the human brain cortex.

Abstract

The pre-central, central and post-central arteries of 29 human brains were studied after the injection of Batson's resin. The purpose was to establish their position in relation to the central sulcus and nearby sulci and convolutions. With the Batson resin injection was observed that the pre-central, central and post-central arteries were coincident with the sulci in more than 75% of the cases and the central and post-central arteries when coincident to their sulci were deep inside in 75% of the hemispheres.
