The structure of the cerebral arterial system in individuals related by blood

In this brief report, I would like to share some results obtained in the study of the cerebral arterial system of persons related to each other by blood kinship. Collecting material on the question of racial peculiarities of the brain, last year, with the kind assistance of forensic physician O.I. Korchazhinskaya, I received the brain of a woman who died in the ninth month of pregnancy, as well as the brain of her fetus. Such material is a well-known rarity for our Institute, so it is natural that I wanted to study the received brains as comprehensively as possible; in particular, the arterial system was removed and fixed. At the same time, in order to preserve the brain for further study, I used the method of simultaneous study and preservation of both the brain and its arterial system.
