title: [The morphology of the circulus arteriosus cerebri in rabbits and its changes following unilateral carotid ligation].
abstract: Kallocryl casts showed in all cases that the circulus arteriosus is closed in the rabbit. This refutes claims to the contrary in the literature. Attention is drawn to contradictions in the nomenclature denoting the parts of the circulus. According to our observations, in the rabbit only the caudal part of the circulus, mainly the caudal communicans artery, is implicated in the compensation of unilateral ligature of the common carotid artery.
