[Quantitative histological studies of the variability of Golgi-impregnated cortical neurons in rats and cats].
Quantitative GOLGI-studies are executed about the layer V pyramidal neurons of the albino rat and the cat sensorimotor cortex. To this the length LP of the perikarya, the lenth LAD of the apical main dendrites, the spine-densities (spine-dendrite-quotients) DQ and the length NZ of the spineless ("nude") initial zone of the apical dendrites are measured in several male animals descending of the same litters. The neuronal signs are compared within the specimens of the same age. There are no statistical significant differences (level: 0,05) between these neuronal signs in all specimens of the same age and species. Relating to the examined marks of the cortical pyramids it is allowed to decline the hypothesis of variability between animals (rats or cats respectively) of the same age and sex. By this it is legal and sufficient to examine only one specimen (animal) for each stage of age in histological researches of ontogenetic series. This specimen is representative to this stage of evolution.
