title: The development and formation of the sulci on the dorsal surface of the sheep's brain.
abstract: The authors studied development of the sulci on the dorsal surface of the brain of 150 merino sheep. The sulcus coronalis was the first to appear, at a CR length of 162 mm (72-75 days). Further sulci originated in the following sequence: the sulcus ansatus at a CR length of 178 mm (76-77 days), the sulcus cruciatus at 180-183 mm (77-78 days), the sulcus marginalis at 185 mm (78-79 days), the sulcus ectomarginalis at 221 mm (85-86 days) and the sulcus endomarginalis at 265-270 mm (96-97 days). After the sulci have been formed, their development continues with accentuation of secondary branching.
