Summary The brains of hynobiid salamanders were studied with a light and an electron microscope. Blood vessels were found in the neural lobe, the olfactory bulb, and the meninx. In the bulk of the brain parenchyma, however, blood vessels were not found. This virtual absence of brain vascularization may be unique to hynobiid salamanders among vertebrates.
