The data have been obtained on regional differences in structure of the capillary bed in the temporal cortex of the cerebrum (TCC) and in the papillary bodies of the human thalamus (PBHT) during various age periods. The capillary diameter and nuclear volume is greater in perivascular gliocytes of the TCC than in those of the PBHT. With ageing the capillary diameter and hypertrophy of the endotheliocytic nuclei is noted to increase in both areas of the brain.
