    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neuroanatomy
    • Developmental Neuroscience

    Background:

    • The neostriatum's cytoarchitecture is crucial for understanding its function.
    • Rodent and carnivore neostriatal structures differ, influenced by the internal capsule.
    • Neuronal development involves significant morphological changes from neonate to adult stages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the developmental changes in the rodent neostriatum's neuronal architecture.
    • To compare the neostriatal structure between rodents and carnivores.
    • To highlight the significance of neuronal configuration in morphological analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • Golgi impregnation techniques were used on rodent and carnivore brain sections.
    • Coronal, horizontal, and sagittal sections were analyzed to capture different architectural views.
    • Developmental stages from neonate to adult were examined.

    Main Results:

    • Adult rodents exhibit an areolar configuration in the neostriatum with segregated axon fascicles, neuronal clusters, and dendritic bundles.
    • Neonatal rodents show clustered cells but lack dendritic bundling and possess spine-free neurons or protospines.
    • A transition period around 15 days post-birth marks the development of adult features.
    • Carnivore neostriatum differs, particularly in axon fascicle-free regions, lacking dendritic bundles and pallisades, unlike rodents.

    Conclusions:

    • Neostriatal development involves a significant shift in neuronal and dendritic organization.
    • Species-specific differences in neostriatal architecture, like those between rodents and carnivores, are linked to broader brain structures.
    • Neuronal-architectonics, the overall neuronal configuration, is essential for accurate morphological interpretation.
