title: The topography and cytoarchitectonics of the nuclei of supraoptic and preoptic areas in insectivores.
abstract: In regio supraoptica there are nucleus paraventricularis, nucleus supraopticus, area hypothalamica anterior and nucleus suprachiasmaticus. These centers are more developed in hedgehog than in mole and common shrew. Area preoptica is divided into 4 parts (medial, lateral, periventricular and middle) from among the middle part in hedgehog is less developed than in other two species. Only in common shrew within area preoptica there is accessory cell group (nucleus preopticus accessorius).
