ABSTRACT
Combining the immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) method with the image quantitative analytical study, changes in somatostatin(SOM)-like, neurons of the hippocampal formation were investigated in young (2 monthes), adult (10 monthes) and old (24 monthes) rats. The results were as follows:1. The number of the SOM-like neurons decreased gradually from the young to the old. Moreover, there was a significant difference among the three age groups (p
ABSTRACT
Changes in SOM-like neurons of the hippocampal formation were investigated inWistar male rats(young-2 months old;adult-10 months old;aged-24 months old)by using the combination of the IGSS method and image quantitative analysis.The following results were obtained:1.Number of SOM-like neurons decreased markedly(P
