[PECULIARITIES OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF AMYGDALA BASOLATERAL NUCLEUS IN THE BRAIN OF MEN AND WOMEN]
Abstract:
Using the morphometric method, neuron profile field areas and the density of neurons and gliocytes were measured in amygdala basolateral nucleus in left and right hemispheres of the brain in 6 men and 6 women aged 19 to 55 years. Women showed a tendency towards hemispheric asymmetry of the indices studied with their greater values found in left hemisphere. In the group of men, the opposite tendency to hemispheric asymmetry was found: greater values of the indices studied were detected in right hemisphere.
