Morphofunctional Changes in Neurons of Hippocampal Fields and Neocortical Layers in Rats Treated with Polydan

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Light microscopy revealed four types of neurons differing by staining intensity and size in each of the pyramidal neuron populations in the dorsal hippocampal fields and layer V of the neocortical somatosensory area and in granular cells of the dentate fascia and stellate cells of layer II of the same cerebrocortical area in rats. Treatment with Polydan according to different protocols led to redistribution of these types of cells, which attests to stimulation of synthetic processes in these brain areas, rather than to similar sequence of the involvement of different brain areas in this process. Polydan promoted the increase in the mean number of nucleoli in the nuclei of neurons of all types, the degree of this increase being different for each type. It seems that morphological signs (staining intensity and number and size of nucleoli in the nuclei) reflect certain functional states of the neurons in the homogeneous populations. Presumably, various factors can stimulate transition of neurons from one morphofunctional status into another.
