The vascularization of the developing human brain.
The principal rules of vascularization of developing central nervous system are presented. The angiogenesis as a mechanism of cerebral vessels formation was explained. The time of epiparenchymal plexus formation and penetration of endothelial channels into nervous tissue was reviewed evidentiating the correlation between the development of brain structures and their vascularization. Particular attention was devoted to the problem of formation and maturation of vessels within cerebral hemispheres, the rates of blood supply and drainage of their structures.
