Silver deposition in arteriolar basal laminae in the cerebral cortex of argyric rats.
Electron microscopy of the parietal cortex and subcortical white matter of argyric rat brain revealed extremely fine 10--15 nm deposits of silver within the basal laminae of some arterioles. Stab-wound injury to argyric rats resulted in increased silver deposits in arteriolar basal laminae but not in any deposition of silver in the brain parenchyma.
