Description

A fragment of the mesopallium (M) - a region in the pallium of the telencephalon of a chaffinch. The image shows a neuron that belongs to radial neurons of the Class I allodendritic type. Such neurons are rare in the pallium. They are characterized by weakly developed branching of the dendrites and small number of spines. Glial cells - astrocytes - are visible among the neurons. Dark spots on the image - unspecific silver sediment. Small blood vessels are also stained.
