Description
Ahmad Al Aiyan and co-authors map in 2026 the arteries feeding the horse brain, a reference long missing for veterinary neurology. They injected colored latex into the neck arteries of ten preserved adult horse heads, then dissected and photographed the vessels from many angles. Horses have large, folded brains that depend on uninterrupted blood flow.
Every specimen showed a complete, symmetrical arterial circle joining the carotid and basilar systems at the brain's base. The front artery fed the inner front cortex and the bridge between hemispheres, the middle artery fed the side surfaces, and the back artery fed the rear lobes. Small connecting variations appeared in most specimens without breaking the overall pattern. The map supports reading brain scans and planning future clinical studies in horses.
