[Architectonics of thalamic anterior dorsal and reticular nuclei of women's brain].

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.

[Some structural characteristics of the ventral posterior lateral nucleus of the thalamus in men and women].

Using quantitative neurohistological indices, a structure of the ventral posterior lateral nucleus of the thalamus has been studied in 10 cases from the collection of the Institute of Brain, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The sample included 6 men and 4 women aged from 19 to 55 years, right-handed, who died suddenly and did not suffer neurological or mental disorders. Density of satellite gliocytes and density of neurons surrounded by satellite gliocytes were determined.

[Peculiarities of neuronal sizes of anterior dorsal and reticular nuclei of the thalamus in women].

Profile field areas (PFA) were studied in 100 neurons in the anterior dorsal (ADN) and reticular nuclei (RN) of the thalamus in the left and right cerebral hemispheres of five women (10 hemispheres) aged from 19 to 33 years, using 20 microm-thick sections stained with Nissl's cresyl violet. Morphometric method using Image Scope Color <> program-device complex (Germany) was applied. < View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Individual variability in the structural asymmetry of the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus in men and women.

Quantitative neurohistochemical parameters were used to study the structure of the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus. The study set consisted of 10 specimens from the collection of the Institute of the Brain, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and included seven men and three women aged 19-59 years, all right-handed, who died suddenly and had no neurological or mental diseases during life. The following parameters were measured: neuron density, total and satellite glia densities, the density of satellite-surrounded neurons, and the ratios of satellite glia to all glia and neurons surrounded by satellite glia to all neurons.

[Individual variability and structural asymmetry of the dorsal medial nucleus of the thalamus in men and women].

Using quantitative neurohistological indices, a structure of the dorsal medial nucleus of the thalamus has been studied in 10 cases from the collection of the Institute of Brain, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The sample included 7 men and 3 women aged from 19 to 59 years, right-handed, who died suddenly and did not suffer lifetime neurological or mental disorders. The following indices have been determined: neuronal density, density of total and satellite glia, density of neurons surrounded by the satellite glia as well as portion of the satellite glia to the total one and portion of satellite-surrounded neurons to their total amount.
