[Morphochemical specialization of individual types of neurons in the visual analyzer of the rabbit brain].
Using quantitative cytophotometry it was shown that different neuron groups of the rabbit's visual analyser had various specificity with respect to the vision function. Middle cells of external geniculate body (EGB), neurons of the lower part of layer III, cells of layer IV, and large neurons of layer V of the visual cortex most of all undergo changes during 2.5 months of deprivation. One month later rehabilitation changes were most pronounced in the middle neurons of EGB and later IV neurons of the visual cortex. But the higher sensitivity of these cells to deprivation in comparison to other neurons, and the type of their organization enable us to relate them to specifically vision cells. Mechanisms of possible rearrangement of the neuron metabolism with deprivation and rehabilitation are discussed.
