The development of the brain’s vascular system is a predominantly prenatal process in mammalian species and is required for neurogenesis and further brain development. Our recent work on fetal pig has revealed that many neurodevelopmental processes start well before birth and proceed rapidly reaching near-mature status already around birth. Here, we analyzed the development of vasculature in the cortical layers from embryonic day (E) 70 onwards (gestation in pig lasts 114 days). In all cortical layers, vessel volume from total brain volume at E100 resembled that of a postnatal day (P) 30 pigle
