Evolution of neuronal density in the ageing thalamic reticular nucleus
1995
Abstract In this paper we present an analysis of the visual sector of the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus (TRN) from 3, 6, 18, 24 and 30 month old Wistar rats using stereological methods. The volume density (Vv), the number of neurones per surface unit (Na) and the neurone numerical density (Nv) showed a progressive decrease between the 3rd and the 24th months as the animals aged, whereas a significant increase was observed between the 24th and the 30th month, the period at which these rodents have fully entered old age.
