Abstract
WHEN an artery of the cerebral cortex of an anaesthetized rabbit is pinched with a pair of fine forceps so that it bleeds briefly, some platelets rapidly form a haemostatic plug outside the vessel and others adhere to its endothelial lining at the site of injury to form platelet clumps or ‘white bodies’ which embolize intermittently in the blood stream. The formation and embolization of white bodies may go on for several hours1–3.
