Abstract:
In this study, an area of 953.2 micron 2, a diameter of 36.7 micron and a circularity factor of 0.74 have been established for the neurons of the facial motor nucleus of the dog. Significant differences (p less than 0.01) were observed by comparing the means of some of the parameters determined in the six cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the facial motor nucleus described in a previous study. Moreover, the neurons tend to increase in size in the caudocranial direction.
