[The structure of the motor cortex in the rat in hypokinesia].

Ultrastructure of neurons, synapses and glial elements was studied in the rat motor cortex under exposure to hypokinesia lasting for 40 and 90 days. Changes prevail in all cortical layers in 90-days hypokinesia and in upper ones in 40-days hypokinesia. These are basically reactive or not deep destructive changes. Cell elements and synapses with structural manifestations of low functional activity prevail with the increase of the experimental terms. Astrocyte number including satellite forms significantly grows in 40-days hypokinesia. In 90-days changes occur in all cortical layers with the increase of both astrocyte and oligodendrocyte number.

[Structural organization of the fronto-parietal area of the sensory-motor cortex of the rat brain].

Organizational peculiarities of the frontal-parietal area of the sensomotor cortex are: parvicellularity, alveolar-like distribution of neurons, radial striation of the lower zone, distinctly manifested stratification of the higher zone in the cortical plate, the middle zones contain short axonal pyramidal, stellate and granular neurons. Formation of somato-somatic contacts is specific for interneuronal interaction. Peculiarity of the normal ultrastructure of the neuronal cytoplasm is presence of 2-4 subsuperficial cisterns in the section. In neuropil, which is presented mainly as axo-spinal assymetrical contacts of the I type after Grey, transversal profiles of tightly arranged and collected in fasciculi finest axonal collaterals and terminal dendritic ramifications are revealed.
