title: [Comparative morphological analysis of neuron populations in ganglion layer of rodent cerebellar cortex].
abstract: The characteristics of basophilic substance distribution, linear dimensions and Purkinje cell (PC) density per unit of gyrus length in ganglion cell layer of cerebellar cortex were studied in ecological-morphological groups of small burrow rodents. Polymorphism specificity of neuron populations in ganglion cell layer was demonstrated in regard to degree of chromophilia of neuron cytoplasm which is characterized by obvious prevalence of normo- and hyperchromatic cells in all PC populations. The correlation between average values of PC body profile area, density of neurons distribution in cell population and the degree of animal adaptation to their environment was analyzed.
