Little has been reported concerning circulus arterious cerebri in adult rats. Certain morphological features not described previously were observed. The more significant of results these were as follows:
The asymmetrical origin of the posterior cerebral artery was found to occur in more than half of the animals. Presence of cleft-like buttonhole formations along an anterior cerebral artery at one side or both sides was a feature that show practically the species characteristic. The supplemental anterior communicating artery was occasionally found at the place of fusioning with the two anterior cerebral arteries. Exceptionally, 3 cases of the anterior cerebral artery did not fuse to both arteries but they were unusually connected with the two anterior communicating arteries. An olfactory artery to the nasal cavity was prominently branched from the anterior cerebral artery in all animals.
