Quantitative methods were used to compare the changes taking place in the volume of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and corresponding neurons of young, adult and old rats. The study was carried out on male albino rats aged 3, 18, 24 and 28 months. In order to estimate the volume of the

The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICc) is a major processing center for the ascending auditory pathways. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and excitant amino acids (EAAs) are essential for coding many auditory tasks in the IC. Recently, a number of neurochemical and immunocytochemical stu
## Abstract In the present study, the cortex volume, total volume, total length and mean diameter of the myelinated fibers in the cortices of young, middleβaged, and aged LongβEvans rats were quantitatively investigated by using stereological methods and electron microscopy techniques. There were n
The sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA) is larger in volume in males, is responsive to steroids developmentally, and contains a subpopulation of late-arising neurons that can be specificially labeled with 3H-thymidine on embryonic day 18 (EM). The cytoarchitecture of this regio
Immunoreactivity for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been observed in both adult and embryonic rat motoneurons. However, the developmental pattern of CGRP expression in motoneurons has not been systematically examined and the role of CGRP in neuromuscular development is poorly understood.
