The cochlear nuclei in man.

摘要: The human cochlear nuclei are composed of a ventral and dorsal nucleus which similar, though not identical, in their cytoarchitecture to those other mammals. (VCN) consists rostral area spherical cells, central multipolar globular posterior octopus laterodorsal cap small neurons. interareal boundaries less distinct man than the cat. region cells constitute bulk VCN. spherical, globular, appear relatively numerous (DCN) is large, but lacks typical stratification seen mammals, with only vestiges granular molecular layers remaining. Virtually entire DCN an fiber neuropil containing pyramidal neurons, occasional giant cells. have lost radial orientation lie scattered within neuropil. Thus may be equivalent 2 3 this In spite large DCN, acoustic striae small. This contrast trapezoid body leaving Intrinsic descending pathways clearly defined prominent
