|July 1, 1984
Abstract:
As demonstrate macro-microscopic and stereologic investigations performed in 120 preparations of children and adolescent brain, the anterior, medial and lateral nuclei in the thalamus have a complex geometric form which does not change with age. Their linear dimentions and stereotaxic coordinates increase somewhat. These changes are described by means of mathematical models as regression equations. Individual changeability of the nuclear groups, situating within the studied ones are evidently subjugated to the same regularities. The individual variants revealed are not connected with side of the brain, form of the skull and sex. The combination of the methods used gives reliable results.
