Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Comparative Neurology, Vol. 9: A Quarterly Periodical Devoted to the Comparative Study of the Nervous System
Obersteiner (2) describes a preparation of the pia-mater, taken from the convexity Of the human brain, stained in gold chloride, which has been in his collection for many years, and which contained a small vessel (figured by him), on which a number Of relatively large nerve-fibrils were found. He states that in this preparation, only the coarser nerve-branches seemed stained, the finer branches, with their terminations remaining unstained. Es ist also (he adds) damit der directe anatom ische Beweis geliefert, dass die feineren intracraniellen Gefasse, wenigstens innerhalb der Pia mater, ihre eigenen Nerven besitzen. Daraus darf doch Ohneweiters der Schluss gezogen werden; dass diesen Gefassen auch die Fahigkeit zukommt, sich activ, selbststandig zu contrahiren, respective zu dilatiren.
