Factors which limit the interpretation of studies of aging brain include: secular trends,
species and strain differences, effects of tissue processing, and bias which may be …

The extent of dendritic trees of pyramidal neurons of the CA 2–3 field of the hippocampus of
20 human brains obtained at autopsy was quantified in Golgi Cox-stained tissue. Fifteen …

Parahippocampal gyrus was sampled from human brains at autopsy to form three groups:
adult (n= 5, mean age 51.2 years), normal aged (n= 5, mean age 79.6), and senile dementia …

The effect of advanced old age on the nerve cell content of the cerebral cortex was
examined in 19 non-demented persons aged 69–95 years, using a Quantimet 720 image …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the alterations in dendritic extent as potential
compensatory responses to age-related neuronal loss in selected brain regions and …

The methods of Golgi have been used in the histological evaluation of brain tissue from ten
aged patients with and without evidences of senility. A sequence of changes, identified …

The dendritic trees of pyramidal neurons of layer III or the external pyramidal layer of the
layer of the subiculum have been studied have been in Golgi Cox-stained human tissue …

During normal aging, widespread loss of nerve cells does not occur. Neuronal loss is limited
to restricted regions of the nervous system and is slight (probably no more than 10%). The …

Pyramidal neurons in two subdivisions of CA1 (CA1 and CA1a+ b) of hippocampus from
human brains obtained at autopsy were studied in Golgi Cox-stained tissue. Seventeen …
