title: [Enzymatic chemoarchitecture of the isocortex of humans (area 10 of Brodmann)].
abstract: The distributions of some oxidoreductases, esterases and phosphatases were investigated in the area 10 (lobus frontalis cerebri) of old human brains by means of histoenzymatic methods. It was possible to observe a different spread of enzymatic activites of hydrolases and oxidoreductases in the several layers of human frontal cortex. The microphotometrical gradation of oxidoreductases was identical with the results of the most mammal brains with the exception of the alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. The enzyme products of this oxidoreductase show a increase in the lamina 6 and in the subcortex. The cause of the culmination is not jet clear.
