...R. Bianchi; L. Rodella; R. Rezzani; M. Gioia The abducens nucleus is a pontine nucleus directly involved in oculomotion through its connections with the lateral rectus muscle of the eye. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cytoarchitectural organization of the abducens nucleus...

...R. Bianchi; M. Gioia A morphoquantitative study was carried out to clarify the cytoarchitecture of the human nuclear complex of the posterior commissure (NPC), a collection of cell groups which is thought to be involved in the pupillary light reflex and eye movements. On the basis...

...R. Bianchi; M. Gioia The interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) is an important premotor centre related to the control of eye and head movements. The aim of the present research was to draw a detailed picture of the cytoarchitecture of the human INC, in particular taking into consideration...

...P. Chunhabundit; S. Thongpila; C. Cherdchu; R. Somana The cytoarchitecture of the superior cervical ganglion of the common tree shrew was investigated by scanning electron microscopy using the vascular cast technique in conjunction with digestion by collagenase-hyaluronidase/HCl. The main cellular...

...R. Bianchi; M. Gioia A morphoquantitative study was carried out to provide detailed information regarding the cytoarchitecture and neuronal morphology of the nucleus of Darkschewitsch (ND) of man. The neuronal population showed heterogeneity of shape and size of the nerve cell bodies. Small...

...M. Gioia; R. Bianchi A morphoquantitative analysis was carried out to clarify the cytoarchitectural organization of the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) which is considered to be an important site in the control of eye movements. The study was carried out on the cat, using the Golgi...

... regions, and external and internal portions). The neuronal density was constant in the different regions, but showed a gradual and significant increase in the most external regions of the PAG. Our findings do not, therefore, confirm the existence in the PAG of subnuclei with a specific cytoarchitecture...

...Masako Fujii The cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the lateral tuberal nucleus (LTN) were examined in five species of Callithricidae and in 21 species of Prosimiae. In this study, the LTN of the Callithricidae is described in detail and the LTN of prosimian Lemuriformes is clearly...

...Francisco Prado Reis; Luiz Marcus Soares Machado The cytoarchitecture of the coulomotor nuclear complex (ONC) and of the trochlear nucleus (TN) was studied in the encephalon of 10 adult marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ). All the encephala were fixed with Bouin, embedded in paraffin and submitted...

...Lj.M. Rakić; L.N. Lazarević Cytoarchitectural analysis of the telencephalon in Serranus scriba fish enabled us to differentiate a rather specialized morphological structure. Nerve cells identified in this structures cannot be classified following classical categories met in higher vertebrates...
