[Morphometric comparison of neuron types in the nucleus raphe dorsalis and nucleus centralis superior (Nc. raphe medianus) of the rat].
Three similar neuron types (polygonal, fusiform and pyriform neurons) were found to exist in populations of the nucleus raphe dorsalis and of nucleus raphe medianus, resp. The neuron types of both subnuclei were compared morphometrically using sections prepared by means of the Einarson--technique. The comparison between morphometrical values (size and breadth of the somata and nuclei, resp.) of the neuron types didn't show significant differences.
