Abstract:
We morphometrically analyzed nerve fibers of the human mandibular nerve with a discriminative staining method that makes it possible to separate nerve fibers into myelinated and unmyelinated fibers. We counted numbers and transverse areas of myelinated axons under the microscope using an on-line image-analyzer. This study revealed the morphometric changes which affect the human mandibular nerve during the aging process.
