QUANTITATIVE HISTOCHEMISTRY OF THE CEREBRAL CORTEX

Quantitative histochemistry of the cerebral cortex.

For some years in this laboratory the principles and methods of quantitative histochemistry introduced by Linderstr#{216}m-Lang and loiter (7, 10) have been used for studies on the chemical pathology of the nervous system. A particular effort has been made to describe the biochemical architecture of rat and human cerebral cortex, primarily because of its intrinsic neurological importance and th...

The quantitative histochemistry of the retina.

The retina is not only an exceedingly interesting structure in its own right, but it presents an exceptional opportunity for study of the central nervous system, of which it is an integral part. In the retina a number of nervous elements which are usually intimately mixed together have been sorted out into discrete layers. Analysis of each of these layers could provide information as to the com...

Quantitative histochemistry of the primate skin.

Fructoaldolase activity in primate skin and appendages has been assayed with a highly sensitive fluorometric method. Epidermal fructoaldolase has characteristics similar to the fructoaldolases obtained from animal sources. The fructoaldolase activities of various skin structures are remarkably high; all glandular structures (except for apocrine sweat glands which have the highest activity of 24...

Towards a quantitative, probabilistic neuroanatomy of cerebral cortex.

century in understanding the functional organization of primate cerebral cortex, thanks in considerable measure to several essential types of information provided by neuroanatomy. More specifically, neuroanatomy reveals cortical morphology and how cortical convolutions vary across individuals and species; it provides the basis for subdividing the cortical sheet into distinct architectonic areas...
