[An electron radioautographic study of the dynamic decrease in the level of RNA synthesis in human brain cells at...

The above study is performed in neurons, oligodendrocytes and capillary endotheliocytes of human brain 4-13 hours after death. Brain biopsies after the surgery and early necropsies served as the material. RNA synthesis in some neurons and glial cells is retained to some degree 8-13 hours after death. Oligodendrocytes are more and neurons less resistant. Grave disturbances of the CNS microcirculation is the obstacle to reversibility of destructive processes.
