Preparation

SPSU-ODK-AVES-1-5

Description: Frontal (transverse) celloidin section through a telencephalic hemisphere of the common chaffinch Fringilla coelebs L. impregnated with silver salts by the Golgi method. Dorsal region of the pallium (HD – hyperstriatum dorsocellulare). The section shows a separate short-axon, spineless neuron. This is one of the most highly differentiated neurons in the CNS structures of vertebrates, which belongs to highly specialized idiodendritic cells (by classification of E. Ramon-Molinera). In general, these neurons are found in the pallial regions of the telencephalon in Passeriformes (especially in Corvidae) and mammals (in Carnivora and primates).

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part

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