[The nerve cells of the hemispheric cerebral cortex in an extracranial arterial shunt].

Condition of nerve cells of the cerebral hemisphere cortex was studied in 105 dogs with induced one-side caroticojugular anastomosis in terms from one day to one year. Acute swelling and hydropical reversible changes were found in nerve cells in early stages of the caroticojugular anastomosis existence. Irreversible changes-desquamation and progressing atrophia of nerve cells, leading to appearance of the cell devastation foci in cerebral hemisphere cortex in late stages developed after one month.
