[Neuroglia-form cells in the visual cortex of the rat]

Neuroglia-form cells have been examined in visual cortex of the rat in Golgi-Kopsch-preparations. These small neurons with strictly local and dense dendritic and axonal plexuses are present in all cortical layers. Neuroglia-form cells of the rat are identical with the same neuronal types described by previous authors in cortical areas of other species, guinea pig, cat, monkey and in man.
