Cytoarchitecture of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in the rabbit.

چکیده
The cytoarchitecture and morphometry of the neurons in the alpha E sector of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rabbit have been studied. The preparation techniques used were those of Golgi-Adams and Klüver-Barrera. Our method was to subdivide the alpha E sector into three zones (superior, medial and inferior) and then to cut each zone along the horizontal, transverse and saggital planes in order to obtain precise measurements and descriptions of the neurons whatever their orientation. Differences exist in both the size and distribution of neurons in the inferior zone of the alpha E sector compared to the other two.

Histological and Biochemical Alterations in the Superior Colliculus and Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of Juvenile Rats Following Prenatal Exposure to Marijuana Smoke
Prenatal exposure to marijuana has been associated with a variety of brain deficits, as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its main active ingredient crosses the placenta and affects foetal brain development. Despite this effect, marijuana remains a commonly abused substance among pregnant women. In the current study, we examined the histological and biochemical changes in the superior colliculus (...
متن کاملDense cored vesicles in presynaptic profiles of the rabbit dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.
We are carrying out a study about the synaptic relations between identified synaptic profiles in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the rabbit. Here, the types of synaptic vesicle containing profiles of the dLGN are described. There are presynaptic large profiles containing round vesicles and pale mitochondria (RLP terminals) and small profiles that contain round vesicles and dark ...
متن کاملA morphometric comparative study of the lateral geniculate body in selected placental mammals: the common shrew, the bank vole, the rabbit, and the fox.
The lateral geniculate body (LGN) was morphometrically examined and compared in representatives of four mammalian orders (Insectivora, Rodentia, Lagomorpha, and Carnivora). In each studied species, the lateral geniculate body was divided into two distinct parts: the dorsal nucleus (LGNd) and the ventral nucleus (LGNv). The lateral geniculate body of the common shrew and the bank vole are very s...
متن کاملThe neurons of the medial geniculate body in the mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii).
The neurons in the medial geniculate body were studied in Golgi preparations from adult mustached bats (Pteronotus parnellii). Their somatic and dendritic configurations were compared with those of cells in other, nonecholocating mammals. A second goal was to use the thalamic nuclear subdivisions derived from Golgi material to integrate the findings in parallel studies of cytoarchitecture, immu...
متن کاملA neurochemically distinct third channel in the macaque dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.
The primate visual system is often divided into two channels, designated M and P, whose signals are relayed to the cerebral cortex by neurons in the magnocellular and parvicellular layers of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. We have identified a third population of geniculocortical neurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of macaques, which is immunoreactive for the alpha subunit o...
