background and objectives: study of deleterious effect of neurotoxins on the animals' brain is a fascinating research plan. in this project, the damage effect of colchicine on the hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (ca1) was examined by the studying the hippocampal tissue. materials and methods: injections of colchicine (1-75 μg/rat, intra- hippocampal ca1) were performed in cannulated male wistar rat...

in this review the role of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) in mammalian cerebral cortex development has been highlighted. many studies have focused on the potential role of the csf in the developmental process. in particular, the cerebral cortex develops from the germinal epithelium adjacent to the csf. csf contains proteins, growth factors and other neurotrophic factors which are important for neura...
