Figure 16. Analysis of anisotropy.

Figure 16

The ratio “ascending vessels / descending vessels” is indicated for each TCC along the radial axis. Prior to DS5, vessels are mainly oriented towards the ventricular surface. By DS5, the ratio approximates 1. During DS6 and DS7, the ratio changes differentially as a function of the position along the radial axis or TCC. These changes show that the development of OT vasculature is strongly influenced by the OT corticogenesis since, as a rule the ratio increases in those zones where intensive proliferation, cell migration, dendritogenesis and synaptogenesis are taking place.
