A fragment of a hemisphere of the telencephalon of a common pigeon Columba livia (Chordata, Aves). Cortical region. Dorsolateral corticoid plate (CDL).

Preparation

SPBSU-ODK_AVES-1-12

Description: The image shows a fragment of the neuronal structure of the dorsolateral corticoid plate in the telencephalon. Multipolar spiny radial neurons are visible. The type of dendrite branching of the most neurons suggests that they belong to the Class I radial neurons of the allodendrite type (according to the classification of E. Ramon-Moliner). This indicates low differentiation level of this part of the pallium. According to present views, corticoid plate of the birds telencephalon belongs to the limbic system of the brain.

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part, neuron(s)

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