Human cerebral arterial morphogenesis explored by 3D microscopic imaging of cleared embryos: Bridging the gap between embryonic and adult anatomy

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We provide a description of human embryonic cerebral arterial development based on whole‐mount immunostaining, tissue clearing, three‐dimensional (3D) light‐sheet microscopy imaging, and anatomically informed virtual segmentation of human embryos. Findings are compared with adult radiological anatomy. We provide a detailed account of the development of
