title: [Morphology of the orbitofrontal cortex in persons schizophrenic psychotics. A Golgi and electron microscopy study].
abstract: By employing Golgi's method it is possible to demonstrate the whole neuron with all structural details in the brain of adults. In the orbitofrontal cortex of deceased persons with schizophrenic psychoses the following morphological findings can be obtained which are not demonstrable by other methods: 1. Mainly pyramidal cells with thick and partly sinuous main dendrites which suggest the presence of an increase in spines. 2. Irregularly arranged triangular cells in the lamina VI with thickened dendrites and increased density of spines. 3. Splitting of the myelin lamellae and deposits of various origins and structures. These findings can be interpreted as a possible expression of a changed function.
