Contribution to the ultrastructural study of microglia in the cerebral cortex.
The author studied the ultrastructural characteristics of the microglial cell in the cerebral cortex of the adult rat and rabbit, admitting the identity and independence of this glial type in relation to the other cells of the nervous tissue. He also discussed the microglial nature of the pericytes ("pericytial microglia").
