Individual Variability of Broca's Area of the Brain in Women.

In this article, we studied individual features of the macroscopic structure of Broca's area of the brains in 9 women (18 hemispheres) aged from 20 to 30 years, without any mental or neurological disorders. By using MRI, the structures of the sulci and gyri of the pars triangularis and pars opercularis of Broca's area were studied: the anterior and ascending rami of the lateral sulcus, the radial, diagonal, precentral, inferior frontal, and lateral sulci. We also studied the relationship between the pars triangularis and pars opercularis as well as their relationships with neighboring cortical structures.

[Gender morphology of Broca's motor speech area].

Objective: To study the general patterns and differences in the macroscopic structure of Broca's motor speech area in the left and right hemispheres of male and female brains.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted on MRI images of the brains of 9 men and 9 women (36 hemispheres in total). All the people were between the ages of 20 and 30, without any mental or neurological disorders.

Structural Organization of the Motor Speech Area of an Outstanding Writer.

The current study is concerned with the macroscopic and cytoarchitectonic structure of the motor speech area 44 in the left and right hemispheres of the brain of an outstanding writer (age 62 years). In a series of 20-μm frontal total paraffin sections stained with cresyl violet by the Nissl method, the density of total glia, the density of satellite glia, and the density of neurons surrounded by satellite glia were analyzed. The motor speech area of the cortex of the famous writer is characterized by a more complex macroscopic and cytoarchitectonic structure.

[Kinetics of the aspartate-aminotransferase reaction catalyzed by free and immobilized cells of E. coli].

The kinetics of the aspartate-aminotransferase reaction were studied, using free and immobilized cells of E. coli, strain 85 as an enzyme source. It was shown that the reaction is limited by mass transport of the reagents through the bacterial cell membrane even at high concentrations of the substrates in the surrounding solution.

[Synthesis of L-aspartic acid by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens as related to the cultivation conditions].

The capacity of the cultures Escherichia coli str. 85, 113, BC, C and K-12 and Pseudomonas fluorescens str. 1 to synthesize L-aspartic acid from fumarate and ammonium ions was studied.
