Anterolateral central arteries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The anterolateral central arteries or lenticulostriate arteries[2] (also anterolateral perforating arteries, anterolateral ganglionic arteries, striate arteries, or lateral striate arteries) are a group of small arteries mostly arising from (the initial M1 part of) the middle cerebral artery that enter the brain through the anterior perforated substance to provide arterial supply to parts of the basal ganglia.[3] They are end arteries.[citation needed]

The name of these arteries is derived from some of the structures they supply, namely the lentiform nucleus and the striatum.[citation needed]
