Preparation

SPSU-ODK-AVES-1-2

Description: Frontal (transverse) celloidin section through a telencephalic hemisphere of a carrion crow impregnated with silver salts by the Golgi method. Region of the pallium. The section shows a separately stained nerve cell with a system of dendritic (d) and axonal (ax) arborizations. Note a rich network of axonal collaterals (ac) and the lack of spines on the dendrites. According to the classification of E. Ramon-Molinera, these neurons belong to a group of highly specialized, idiodendritic cells, which shows a high level of neuronal organization of the brain in Corvidae.

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part

Methods: Neurohistology - Golgi method of silver impregnation of nervous elements
