Structural elements of afferent innervations of brain arteries in rats such as receptors and nervous fibers, neurons of ganglia jugularis unit and the nucleus of a single way were investigated with the help of histochemical and electron cytochemical methods. The presence of three types of receptors and afferent fibers has been established in vessels. Neurons with positive reaction to NADPH-diaphorase have been allocated in the ganglia jugularis unit and the nucleus of a single way (17.4 and 24.5 % accordingly).

Key words:  nitric oxide, afferent innervations, nitroxidergic neurons, brain vessels
