title: Dimensions of the pons, the medulla oblongata and the fourth ventricle fundus in people aged 18-91 years.
abstract: The structure of human central nervous system has not been fully known yet. There were studies concerning the anatomical structure of the human brain and anatomical and experimental studies performed in animals (4, 7, 10, 18). The new methods of CT and MRI (15) enable the intravital studies of CNS which cause no visible side-effects in patients. The present paper reports the anatomical studies of the human brain stem in autopsy material.
