[Cytoarchitectonics, neuronal organization and the influence of gender factor on neuronal dendroarchitectonics of the amygdala posterior medial nucleus].
The aim of this study was the analysis of cytoarchitectonics, neuronal organization and gender factor influence on neuronal dendroarchitectonics of amygdala posterior medial nucleus. The study was performed on 50 adult Wistar rats (25 male and 25 female) using Nissl and Golgi staining methods. The nucleus is shown to be formed by large neurons, which in silver-impregnated sections, had the characteristics of long-axon sparsely- and densely-branched neurons. In male rats, dendrites of long-axon sparsely-branched neurons had greater branching indexes, while those of long-axon densely-branched neurons were longer than in females.
