Collection: Brain of the birds (Aves)

Species: Coturnix japonica Temminck et Schlegel, 1849    Aves

Description: Frontal (transverse) celloidin section through a telencephalic hemisphere of a Japanese quail impregnated with silver salts by the Golgi method (cell bodies and neurites are stained black). Central area of the hemisphere. Silver stained a single neuron and several adjacent glial cells (presumably astrocytes). This neuron is classified as a Class I allodendritic radial neuron. These neurons are considered to be the elements controling intrahemispheral connections, because they have long axons reaching beyond the local cell group and even the local region of the hemisphere.

Comments: none

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part

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