title: [Architectonics of thalamic anterior dorsal and reticular nuclei of women's brain].
abstract: Architectonics of anterior dorsal and reticular nuclei of the thalamus was studied. A study set consisted of 5 specimens from the brain collection of the Research Neurological Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Specimens were female, aged 19--59 years, all right-handed, who died suddenly and had no neurological, severe somatic or mental diseases during life. The following parameters were measured: neuron density, satellite glia density, density of satellite-surrounded neurons. The individual variability in neuron density was found. It was more pronounced in the reticular nucleus compared to the anterior dorsal nucleus. The variability of satellite glia density was higher in anterior dorsal nucleus; no differences in density of satellite-surrounded neurons were seen between nuclei studied. Between-hemisphere asymmetry with greater values on the left hemisphere was seen for the neuron and satellite glia densities in the anterior dorsal nucleus compared to the reticular nucleus. The density of satellite-surrounded neurons was greater in the anterior dorsal nucleus of the left hemisphere and in the reticular nucleus of the right hemisphere.
