Arterial supply of the olfactory trigone and the anterior perforated substance in macrosmatic and microsmatic animals
open access
Abstract
We discovered that there were differences between these two groups of animals in the places of arising of deep branches and in their course. In the cat the deep branches running through the area of the olfactory trigone arose from the beginning part of the middle cerebral artery in numbers 5–10 and entered the brain in the olfactory tubercle. In the baboon the deep branches arose from two sources: the middle cerebral artery and the anterior cerebral artery. The branches of the middle cerebral artery went through the anterior perforated substance, forming two groups of branches: lateral and medial.
