title: [Multidimensional analysis of neurons in the subnuclei of the central nucleus of the amygdala].
abstract: The multidimensional analysis of quantitative characteristics of dendrite tree of the neurons of the subnuclei of the brain central amygdaloid nucleus was performed. The most stable connections between the parameters of neuronal dendrite tree were detected. By using factor analysis it was demonstrated that the diversity of quantitative characteristics of the cells could be described by four independent variables: "ramification", "dimensionality", "matrix" and "cell body area". As a result of analysis performed, three neuronal clusters were detected. The results of the cluster analysis of neurons are in general agreement with the classification based on the criteria suggested by T.A. Leontovich (1978). The representation of each cluster in subnuclei of the central nucleus was demonstrated taking into account their rostro-caudal extension.
